This has already been covered in many, many other topics, you should check to see if it's already been suggested before posting, for one thing when you first suggest the question it shows a list of topics already created that pertain to what you want to propose, if any, point being that you should use that to avoid lots of same ideas popping up, and also because the previously created topics on the subject have more information concerning said subject. :)

A comment on the question "BumpTop Love" in BumpTop:

Don't forget that the TED video was a prototype and will never be an 'official reference' per se, of Bumptop's current capabilities. The tiles in the original TED video no longer exist, in a sense, the prototype was pushing the limits and seeing what could be achieved, while it was also used to demo Bumptop's capabilities, it was not an official demonstration of the current features and effects/looks of the newest beta release of Bumptop. Hope I made sense there, but the final word from the Bumptop team is that the official video is not an official demonstration of -exactly- what Bumptop looks like and how it works. It does demo key features, such as piles and fanning/flipping through them, tossing icons around, lasso, etc, but the details and 'neat' parts of the video, such as your icon shadows not matching the TED vid, is because it has been redesigned since then. While the tiles really shouldn't be having such an odd looking 'ghost' shadow, don't use the TED video as an example because that video used a prototype pavement version of Bumptop that Anand made (From what I understand), and is now obsolete. – AzimuthDragon, on January 09, 2009 02:29

I love this idea. It seems really effective, after all, bumptopis a bit rigid at the moment. I like the point josh made for photos. Having this also implemented, as aasaria said, in an animation for trashing items be kinda neat, too!

Taping icons together? (Yet Another Novelty Idea)

What if someone (Possibly as a widget in the future) created a feature for Bumptop to 'tape' icons together? On a real desk you might tape a few sheets of paper together to show sequential order.

This is more of a novelty/toy, but it would be fun to tape icons together and give it a whiplash effect when the trail hits other icons.

Picture1 -tape- Picture2 -tape- Picture3

Just another useless idea, lol. :D

I've e-mailed you, hope to hear back soon!! I'm excited!

AzimuthDragon replied on December 31, 2008 02:37 to the update "BumpTop Best Beta of 2008?! Vote!" in BumpTop:

I've been on since Beta 6, and Bumptop is by far the most amazing program I've ever found, and it also has the most potential! I'll vote for Bumptop as well!

Besides, who can't love being able to literally destroy your desktop icons if you get annoyed? ;)

AzimuthDragon replied on December 15, 2008 02:45 to the question "When will bumptop get linux support?" in BumpTop:

Come on, people. Bumptop isn't even ready for Windows, and they're probably working on stability and performance enhancement. Stop demanding things, you're lucky to even be beta testing Bumptop, try and show some gratitude and support towards the people working hard every day on this.

@Tamas

There's a lot of thinks about desks that Bumptop doesn't use at the moment. I wonder if maybe we can somehow add drawers to the walls in the future that we can assign to contain the contents of certain folders?

And in Windows, if I dropped a, say, note file called 'spanishnotes.txt' onto a shortcut to Word, it would open that note file in Word, same goes if I dropped said note file onto an open Word window, so I'd think Bumptop could interface with the Windows functionality that makes those actions possible.

I wouldn't mind just dropping, say, a shortcut on my desktop onto a Firefox window thats been minimized into bumptop, so that it can just pop up the window in that window.

It's a good idea, but I don't think it's critical yet. ;)

Bumptop has lots of potential, that means lots of ideas!

@Jasper

XD

True, I hadn't thought of that. I wouldn't mind having a little mp3 widget on the desktop that has a playlist I use a lot.

But what would I use a Bumptop toaster for?

AzimuthDragon replied on December 12, 2008 20:39 to the idea "Computers can do multiple desktops...Why not multiple rooms?" in BumpTop:

Bumptop isn't about having a house to play in.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to be mean, but I feel it may be worded in such a way that it seems like it.

The whole point of bumptop is to bring the subtle organization and methodology of your desk to your computer, not about turning your desktop into a house, I mean, seriously, when was the last time your desk had doors to other rooms and a couch on it, lol?

It would be awesome, but i think it's impractical. You do know that Bumptop can be used in folders, right?

AzimuthDragon replied on December 12, 2008 20:33 to the problem "Bumptop XP transparency issue" in BumpTop:

Bump! I just installed WindowBlinds 6, I know you folks must be pretty busy, it's not too major but some windows that are not fullscreen are 'stuck' on the Bumptop until I actually go to Bumptop and start interacting with it, it's like how when your computer slows down and windows get stuck on the screen after you move them, ghost windows, perhaps.

Do you guys have any more info about this?

Edit: Basically the same thing as Itomix, I worded mine badly.

A comment on the discussion "Testing Beta Release 14, RC2: next 10 people to email us get an invite code" in BumpTop:

-.=.- Dude, it's called a beta for a reason. With major software like this it WILL take time. This isn't a Microsoft get-it-done-in-a-day thing, there isn't four million people working in tandem on the program. Sign up for the beta and wait, that's all you can do. – AzimuthDragon, on December 02, 2008 05:57

AzimuthDragon replied on November 30, 2008 02:55 to the question "Will beta testers get complementary license keys for bumptop professional?" in BumpTop:

Well come on, i doubt bumptop is going to be a $300 product... I'd pay at -most- around $20 to $30... But I'm not worried about that, i want to improve bumptop, not get a free copy.

AzimuthDragon marked one of rory ok's replies in BumpTop as useful. rory ok replied to the question "Multi-monitor Support". AzimuthDragon and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Having it do that in particular would be very powerful feature, I would love to see that... *wants* xD – AzimuthDragon, on November 25, 2008 01:40

AzimuthDragon replied on November 25, 2008 01:39 to the idea "Dual Monitor Support" in BumpTop:

Dual monitors are not supported at the moment, from what's in my copy, and try searching for a thread before you start one because this particular topic has been discussed quite a lot throughout the forms. ;) Tends to make it easier to find information if we all talk about it in the same place, right?
