Plank docky

I installed the plank docky and I like it very much. It's lightweight, simple and nice. The problem is I can't find a way to keep in the dock custom launchers - example - I'd like to place the launcher for musique or for Popcorn-Time in the docky, so I open musique and right click on the icon on the dock but there is no "keep in dock" option. Then I went to /home/.config/plank/launchers and created the .dockitem files for the applications I'd like to add and see that there are new launchers in the dock but it doesn't work. I also created the .desktop files in the /home/.local/share/applications folder.
Has anyone tried this docky? If so, do you know of a workaround? I asked on their IRC channel a couple of times but there were like 5 people there and total silence, no response at all..
p.s - what is the most lightweight dock that you've ever used?
I thought it was simply called Plank (but was brought to us by the same people who did Docky)?
The most light weight dock I have ever used is certainly the one that comes with Xfce. It is actually a custom panel. Another is the Gnome Shell Favorites launcher modified to a bottom dock using an extension Simple Dock.

I tried cairo dock and docky. Ughh, so heavy an full of useless nonsense! Really didn't like them. I finally managed to solve the issue with plank (which is a great dock - fast and simple, only 20 mb ram usage..great!).
Right click on desktop - create launcher. You create your launcher, assign an icon, a path .. Then you cut and paste that launcher in a folder of your choice (I placed each launcher in the folder of the application). Left click hold and move the launcher (example - Musique.desktop) over the plank dock and release the left mouse bottom - that's it: you have your launcher in plank!
cheers!

What method did you use to install plank? I don't see it in Trisquel repos.
Edit: oops. I just found the ppa.
I would like to mention wbar. http://lxlinux.com/wbar.html
