While DragThing 4 works very well on Mac OS X, the following issues were identified shortly before shipping. These features work fine on Mac OS 8.6 and 9.

Known Problems on Mac OS X
Translucency works best in millions of colours. The old-style DragThing tabs sometimes draw incorrectly in thousands of colours because of a bug in Quartz on Mac OS 10.1.
Choosing "Get Info" on a dock item requires Mac OS 10.1 or later.
Hiding and showing processes via hot keys or contextual menus requires Mac OS 10.1 or later.
Dragging a disk to the Trash in a DragThing dock to eject it requires Mac OS 10.1 or later.
Hot keys which are switched off will not completely deactivate until DragThing is quit on Mac OS 10.0.4 and earlier. This works correctly on Mac OS 10.1 or later.
A number of Mac OS X system applications have the same type and creator and cannot be filtered separately from the process dock.
Colouring the appearance tabs causes drawing problems for tabs placed at the right and bottom of the dock.
The Finder has a problem with AppleScript and items on non-HFS disks. With 4.0.1 you can now open items on NFS and UFS disks, but showing the original and dragging to folders on NFS and UFS disks doesn't work.
Known Problems on Mac OS 9
Clicking on the Apple Menu while in DragThing infrequently causes DragThing to crash with a type two error. This problem is fixed in CarbonLib 1.3.
There have been reports of hangs with Photoshop 6 when switching to DragThing. This is believed to be an OS problem which is fixed in Mac OS 9.2.
Some dock item names may be incorrectly displayed as "!?" with Unicode support enabled on non-US systems running CarbonLib 1.3.1. This problem is fixed in CarbonLib 1.4.
