Create a fully functional Volumes folder in 10.3's dock
Authored by: chris_on_hints on Oct 01, '04 01:41:18PM
Ive done something different, as I dont have folder actions enabled.
Go into terminal and type the following:

mkdir 'Computer'
cd Computer
ln -s /Volumes ./Volumes
ls -s /Network ./Network
Then drag the 'Computer' directory (created in your home folder) into the dock. Then you have access to both network and volume folders from the dock.

This has the disadvantage that mounted network drives will be found in both the Volumes and Network sub-menus.

Create a fully functional Volumes folder in 10.3's dock

I've tried this before, and I've just tried this again, but this does not work.

For my hard drive partitions, the menu simply DOES NOT SHOW ITS SUBMENUS. Creating hard-wired aliases into a folder one the dock will - the disadvantage is it will not display devices as they are mounted and unmounted).
