[QUOTE="taxali88, post: 776718, member: 34450"] Hey all, I have a couple of questions about using the [I]dock[/I] in 10.5, especially the [I]stacks[/I] feature. 1) The "downloads" [I]stack[/I]: The problem I am having is that when a new item I've downloaded gets added to my downloads folder, it doesnt show up in my downloads stack. I have to manually click the stack, then click "98 [ex.] more in Finder" and then find the item in there. This handicap removes any real point of having a stack feature in the first place. On a related annoyance, is there no way in the Finder to organized files from "most recent" to "least recent" - because "date modified" is not used for this function at all. You'd think Mac OS would be able to recognize that the folder I am browsing is called "downloads" and it would have the sense to show me items that I most recently downloaded. 2) Changing the stacks icon: how does my mac assign the icon of the stack. Is it the most recently added item that gets designated? Is there a way to set a permanent icon? :Confused: [/QUOTE]
