10.5: Change the Dock's treatment of Stacks
Authored by: garneaum on Nov 28, '07 10:58:07AM

I made aliases for downloads and documents and applications, placed them within their respective folders, put a space before each alias name so it would sort alphabetically as the first item in the stack, and then set the stacks to list alphabetically. This makes the icon in the dock always the same (either Applications icon, Documents icon, or Downloads icon) to help me identify which stack is which.

An added plus: It keeps the stacks working as they're intended to work. I like stacks, but I didn't like that the icon was always changing on me.
