What is it about the Documents and Downloads folders on the dock that makes them "Stacky"? And despite the general dislike of the concept it is occasionally useful and would be more so if I could apply it to other folders. Get info doesn't reveal anything special. Not to me anyway.

Not to me anyway. I'm not quite sure I understand - _any_ folder that's dragged into the Dock will become a Stack. In 10.5.2 (when it eventually arrives) that behaviour will be selectable rather than enforced.

I can see myself using Stacks for folders with not much in (six or less items perhaps) but over that I'd really prefer them to act like normal folders.

I'm also quite excited about the list view (although I'll be less excited when I find out it won't work with the dock on the left). My documents folder is getting into a mess just so I can click the documents stack then the document rather than "stack > folder > navigate > double-click". SignatureAndy. |
