Great hack
Authored by: eagle on Sep 17, '02 01:42:47PM

I have wanted this for months, and have even sent the suggestion to Apple to no avail.

I don't know what the other commenters are complaining about. Sure, you can option-click and command-option-click an icon, but what if I don't want to change the currently focused app -- what if I just want to hide some other app? With this, I can do it.

I did this on 10.1.5 and it works, except I don't see "Hide Others" -- the only changes to my dock menu are "Hide" and the separator.

If you hold down "option," "Hide" will change to "Hide Others." If you want both available all the time, remove the lines that say

dynamic
0

&

dynamic
1
