When you control-click or click&hold on an icon in A-Dock, a contextual menu will appear.
Menus for running applications
The contextual menu for an application that is running looks like that :
This menu holds the three commands you find in the Application menu : hide, hide others and show all plus a command to quit the application.
The first item lets you access the submenu that follows :
The first item of this menu is the memory usage of the application. The second one will ask the Finder to display the information window for the application, and the third one will reveal the application in the Finder.
The last item lets you add the current application as a favorite if it's not already one of them, or remove it in the other case.
Note :
If “Wapp pro” (another of my sharewares) is also installed on your computer,
A-Dock will list the windows opened in the application at the
beginning of the contextual menu :
Menus for non-running applications
For an application that is not running (see next section to learn how to add them), A-Dock will display a menu like the one below :
The first item lets you access the same submenu as for running applications, and the second item will launch the application.
Menus for folders
The contextual menu for a folder first lists the folder's content. Then you find the item that lets you access the same submenu as for applications, and in the last position, an item to open that folder in the Finder :
Menu for the Trash
The Trash has also its contextual menu that lets you open it or empty it.
Menu for the dock itself
Control-clicking on the handle will popup a contextual menu that gives useful commands to setup A-Dock :
All the command should be obvious except the last one. This command lets you lock A-Dock so removing/moving/adding a favorite and moving the dock are forbidden. Moreover, the contextual menu is now limited to the 2 first commands plus a command to unlock A-Dock.
