Hierarchy: now it can be horizontal

I’ve just released Hierarchy v1.0.4. The major change, taking care of the most common feature request in user feedback, is that you now have the choice between a horizontal or a vertical orientation for the Hierarchy palette. There are a couple of other minor bug fixes, including:

• Single-clicking an icon (to launch it) is less sensitive to accidental drag motions.
• It takes less time for the hierarchical menu to appear when clicking-and-holding.
• Minor polish on the overall look-and-feel.

Considering that Hierarchy began as a personal project to make myself more proficient at Objective C and the Cocoa APIs, it’s really gratifying that there have been already 1,300 downloads since I put up the first version four days ago, and there has been lots of positive feedback and interest in new features. (I realize that this is more indicative of the level of frustration with Leopard’s crippling of the Dock than of my elite programming skills, but happily I’ll take it anyway.)

Thanks again, and as always, please feel free to send me bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback.
