Mac OSX Tip: Put a folder on the LEFT side of the dock!

[lynwarhol]

TYVM! :) you just saved me from having an OCD attack. I couldn't take it when the folder was at the right side of the dock - made it so 'vulnerable' and 'disposable' as it is so near the trash can. hahaha. thank you! :)

Really awesome -- this also worked with a .webloc file! Now I have a OneNote icon that brings me to the webapp version of onenote!

how can i add an alias (for a jarfile) to the dock?

[sdschramm]

@HapplyFace if you want an alias, then hold down option and command while dragging. 

[HapplyFace]

@sdschramm i already made an alias, but I can't add it to the dock (it is for a jarfile) and I want to give it a custom emblem thing. I don't want it on my desktop, I want to have it on the dock.

[sdschramm]

@HapplyFace rename it as an app, drag to dock, rename without the .app extension and it should stay.

@sdschramm i accidentally delete the download folder on the dock and i don't know how to put it back. can you please help me. thanks

[sdschramm]

@mojacko086 open a new finder window, navigate your home folder (has your user name on it) and in there should be your downloads folder. Just drag and drop that to the bottom in your dock.

@mastervtec Sounds like folder to me? If you don't like the way I talk, then close the video and move on.

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering and hoping if this will work with other such things like only the links to programs, or documents, or folders with other folders inside with audio files or Logic file.
