Force folders in the Dock to open in Finder
Feb 16, '12 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: dcottle
I keep frequently used folders and devices in the dock. The default behavior for clicking or using Dock focus then return is either the accordions, or with the command key opening the enclosing folder, neither of which I find very useful.
Solution: Create aliases (which I collect in one folder, also for easy access), and place them on the dock. Clicking or return when focused opens the folder.
[crarko adds: Simple, but useful. A similar technique was used for a long time to simulate portions of the classic Apple menu, before people really adjusted to using the Dock.]
