Stacks – Quick tip

recent items stack

Quick tip here about how to add a recent item stack to your dock. This takes about 2 mins top;

Open up Terminal (this is in the Utilities folder inside Applications)

Type in the line of code below (you can just copy and paste it)

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

Then refresh your dock by adding the line below:

killall Dock

Once the stack is created, control-click on it to reveal a contextual menu that lets you pick between recent applications, documents, servers, volumes, and items.

See told you it was easy. I am currently using it with the favourite items, so that I don’t need to open the Finder to get to my Movies quickly.
