How to keep icon for folder on dock

Hi all,

I've created my own icon for a folder that I've been keeping on my desktop. The folder contains photos. However when I try to move it on to my dock the icon disappears and all I can see is the photos.

I'm a little bit anal about things like this and so I'd really like someone with some mac know how to help me out. How can I transfer the folder on to my dock but keep the icon I've assigned to it.

I'd really appreciate this,

Thanks,

Jay

Right click > Display as Folder. That should do it (although I have no idea if the Dock will show custom folder icons).

Dock will accommodate any folder created under MacOS, but it has to be positioned beneath or to the right of the 'divider' (which looks like a pedestrian crossing - OS 10.6.x). [I love OS 9 folder icons, and use them on OS X folders.]

Thanks guys but neither of these work. I was already putting the folder to the right of the divider and it was losing the custom Icon I assigned to it. I wanted to know how I can place the folder on the folder side of the dock but also keep the icon.

Also when I right click "push ctrl and click" there is no option that says "display as folder" not sure what to do from there mate.

No I stand corrected van smith you were quite correct. I moved it first on to the dock and then changed it to "display as folder" and low and behold my icon appeared on the dock. Really happy with that thanks so much.
