Smartbutton.docky is an enhanced button docky for AmiDock, suggested by Mason
for the OpenAmiga project
(http://openamiga.org/?function=viewproject&projectid=47).

Original features include :
- launching of programs in Workbench or CLI mode (useful for programs not
supporting Workbench arguments passing)
- displaying of a description field (with scrolling)
- "mouse-over" state
- common preferences shared by all the buttons in a dock
- build mode to allow fast edition of the button using drag'n'drop and clickable
texts

Smartsubdock.docky has the same features as smartbutton.docky except that it is
used to control a subdock.
- subdocks are placed automatically and follow their parent dock
- "trees" of subdocks behave like real menus
- subdocks can be imported/exported from/to external files

A complete subdock menu with more than 90 three-state images painted by Martin
"Mason" Merz is included (thanks to him!). To install it, follow the
instructions in the readme to import file "Mason.dock" into AmiDock.

French catalog included. Thanks to the following people, smartbutton.docky is
now available in German, Spanish and Italian:

Michael Merkel (German catalog)
Javier de las Rivas (Spanish catalog)
Samir Hawamdeh (Italian catalog)
