Thanks @eyalcohen4 and @zavbala for opening this issue. Sorry the tool failed for you. Any chance you have unusual docks? (No apps apart from Finder and System Preferences, say).

One thing that could help to get us a clue, could you try running defaults export com.apple.dock - in a terminal on your Mac and let me know if you get a nice XML file with the contents of your dock there?

Any chance you have unusual docks? (No apps apart from Finder and System Preferences, say).

exactly! I have literally nothing docked. (besides Finder and Bin -.-)

defaults export com.apple.dock -
