AppMenuBoy: all your apps in your Dock

Why not just use Quicksilver?

Someone explain to me why a stack in list mode doesn't do the same job?

I tried doing the stacks way and when I put the folder to the right of the separator the icon automatically looks like the trash icon. Any thoughts on that and how do I turn off the alias arrows?

Launchbar/quicksilver FTW!!!

Dear Apple, You make good stuff in general, but even after almost a year, this new Dock still sucks.

The old way (10.0-10.4): drag a folder to the Dock, click on it folder to pop it open, right-click to get a hierarchical menu. Work for apps AND DOCUMENTS and anything else. (Hard disks, servers, you name it.)

The new way: Drag a folder to the Dock. Right-click, choose an option to make it show the folder icon instead of its contents, then right-click again and choose another option to make it show a menu. Now that we've done all that, LEFT-clicking gives a menu of contents (oh, how I love this at work, where I've got both 10.4 and 10.5 machines) and right-clicking... does nothing useful at all. THANKS!!!!!11

Dear God/Steve, couldn't you have at least given us a 'defaults write' option to change it all back?

As for this little app, it's kinda neat in some ways, but one little snag--I've got a lot more folders in my Dock than just /Applications.

All my programs are in that folder when I open it up in list form except Quicken 2006, the one I use the most. Why?

Like previous commenters, I use Stacks for this.

As to the alias issue, I use aliases with the arrows turned off for my Stack folders (I don't like the arrows and only use aliases for this purpose). The reason for this is that I don't want folder icons in my Stacks folders, it ruins the visual effect. You can't move the Utilities folder out of the Application directory for example. If you do, some installations will put it back. I also use Drawers to pretty them up, as mentions here on TUAW 2007/11/16.

Stacks has become one of my favorite Leopard features.

What does this do that Leopard's Dock doesn't already allow?

I already had this with stacks, just changed the display method to List.

I just dragged my Utilities folder to the dock and dropped it to the right of the little seperator line. Then right click on the icon and Sort by Name, View As Stack, Display as List.

Now when I click on that icon, I get a nice little list of all the items in the folder.

I guess the google thing doesn't make you drill down a folder, that might be worth something if you have a lot of embedded applications in subfolders.

Quicksilver?

How do you create an alias??
Right click and Application (I cant try now as I am on a windows machine)
Then do you drag to a new folder?
