Create a fully functional Volumes folder in 10.3's dock
Authored by: mnb on Oct 01, '04 08:48:17PM

I didn't need a script at all for an auto updating dock icon on 10.3.5.

Find needs to be launched to make this...

Make an alias of a folder
do a get info on that alias
select new original
shift-command-G type in /Volumes
click Choose.

You can paste a custom icon on it (unlike with a symbolic link)

It allows browsing and updates when volumes are added or removed.

You can drag the network icon from / to the dock for the same functionality, but you need to open one sub folder first before it will populate. It MAY have problems updating dynamically (just like Finder does with those elements), but I haven't used it long enough to know for sure.

But again, only the root volume can be browsed from the Dock using your solution...
