A little help for your dock.

NovaDock targets AmigaOS 3.0 or later and a 68000 or better.

The LHA package contains the programs and a graphical installer. Check Get NovaDock for release availability, or choose the source package to build it yourself.

Open NovaDockPrefs from SYS:Prefs/ for dock settings. Right-click a plugin and choose Edit settings... for its options.

No. The dock and all plugins share one novadock.cfg format. AmigaOS keeps a session copy in ENV: and a saved copy in ENVARC:.

NovaDock tries valid session and saved backups before using the packaged defaults. Diagnostics shows which settings file was loaded.

Low memory is the compatible default and redraws exposed dock areas without keeping a full backing bitmap. Smooth keeps a smart-refresh backing bitmap for cleaner exposes, but uses more display memory. Select it in General, then choose Use or Save.

After installation, use SetupStartup for classic WBStartup, or configure the WBStartup Preferences system on a compatible Workbench version. Avoid enabling both methods.

See the plugin SDK notes and sample source in the downloadable ZIP.

Roadshow status and Online/Offline commands require a compatible socket library. Details explains unsupported queries when another TCP/IP stack is active. Use that stack's own connection controls. Packet meters require a compatible SANA-II device.

Roadshow may be waiting for applications to release network resources. NovaDock explains a shutdown that has not replied after 15 seconds, keeps the dock responsive and pauses network queries while it waits. Close applications using the network. It does not start overlapping shutdown jobs or forcibly kill the command.

No. Columns are received samples. Adaptive polling changes the time between samples.

Open Diagnostics, choose Recover settings, and select a validated ENV or ENVARC backup. Confirm loading it into Preferences, then use Use or Save to apply it. The low-resource preset is also staged until applied.
