      Unfortunately, no. The Dock doesn't notify anyone of what it's doing. What Quay actually does is intercept clicks in the Dock region and passing them on conditionally. I'll be glad to go into more detail over email...

      Interesting suggestion; but. A non-trivial amount of CPU time would be consumed by that - currently Quay sleeps until it notices an actual click. Hovering would mean checking the mouse position continuously and also ask the Dock continuously for its icon positions. Probably not worth the convenience...

      Right, the last version of Mac OS X where XRay worked reliably was 10.4 - as it says on the website, by the way. It's a PowerPC application, so it can't even run on Lion.

      Try checking the "permissions" section in the Finder's "Get Info" panel to see why it won't delete properly - email me directly if necessary.

      You should also get an email with the serial number, and the number is automatically entered for you; you can see it by selecting "Quay is Registered" in the Quay menu. The help email address is, of course, in the "About Quay" window...

      You don't need to join the forum to post questions or anything. Just reply to the post corresponding to the last version.

      Mexer em plist (preferências) é fria se não souber exatamente para que serve cada uma. Se apagar os caches, fica mais lento! Essa das chaves, não vejo vantagem nenhuma, e o local depende de cada programa. Em resumo, isso parece receita de bolo de alguém que não entende muito do sistema, sinto dizer.

      Not as such - most XRay functions have long been available in the Finder, anyway; remember XRay was originally written for 10.1.5!

      However, a few selected functions will be reincarnated as separate apps for Lion. Please email me with details if you still need some specific XRay feature.
