Improve your Stacks with some drawers

Original link is broken. Here's the link from the icon site http://www.geocities.jp/chy065/

So this is neat, but the only stacks I really use are for recent Documents and recent Applications, how can I apply this to that (aka I cannot find a specific folder to work with)

Thanks!

I like the drawer icons, but still the fan approach takes up so much space that the old heirarchical folder were so much better.

One point when I make my own drawers as described, they sit higher than the ones I downloaded from the Japanese site. This means my documents sort of slide out the bottom.

Has any one got a fix for that ?

Every time I try to unzip the icons, stuffit quits. It's been quitting a lot lately.

Any idea how to get it to work when you manualy add items to a stack!?

Go to the below address to get a good script for using the tray icon for the download folder, and yet still being able to sort by date added.

You can also use SetFile (CLI tool from Xcode) to set those drawer folders invisible under Finder window.

% SetFile -a V FolderName

Ahh.. Now i tryed downloading a file from Safari, an then i works.. But for some reason it doesn't work when i manualy drag&drop a file to the stack!?

ohm: Thanks, but I doesn't seem to work... I have pasted the following in to the script editor:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
do shell script "mv ~/Downloads/DownloadsStacksIcon /tmp/DownloadsStacksIcon; mv /tmp/DownloadsStacksIcon ~/Downloads/DownloadsStacksIcon"
end adding folder items to

then saved it in library -> scripts -> folder action scripts (with the following name: "StacksIcon.scpt")

The I have enabled folder actions for my "Downloads" folder, and added this script to my "Downloads" folder (witch by the way contains my icon folder "DownloadsStacksIcon". But when I add a new file to my Download folder nothing happens, except that any open finder window makes a short flash!?

What am I doing wrong?

@56 You need to activate folder actions. One way to do this is to right click on the folder and select 'Enable folder action' or something similar. Then 'configure' and link the script to the folder.
