Leopard trick: Latest App, doc, server etc.

Just a quick tip for the Leopard users out there, to have a stack in the dock which reflect you Recent Applications, Recent Documents, Recent Servers, Favorite Volumes or Favorite Items simply do the following

Fire up a terminal and enter

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

Followed by a restart of the dock with the trusted

killall Dock

There should now be a new stack on your dock, change the “mode” by right(ctrl) clicking the stack to change what the stack shows.
