More and more handy little tidbits are being discovered about Stacks in Leopard. One of the particularly good ones involves adding a dynamic Stack that lists your recently used Applications, Documents, Servers or even Favorites.

To add this feature to your Dock, use the following command in Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal):

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” = “recents-tile”; }

Then type KillAll Dock

The Dock will restart, and on the far right you will now have a shiny new icon for Recent stuff…right/context click it for choosing which folder to show.

Tip: Want one of each? Simply run the command as many times as necessary, then choose the type after the Dock restarts.

Tip #2: If you’d like to add the hover effect to the Stack icons, as shown above, use this command: defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES, then KillAll Dock. Append the command with NO to remove it.
