Folder problem
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 by Olaf Gazze | Discussion: Docks
i wanted to have a folder (on ObjectDock) filled with custom entries but i didn't want it to be a fly-out.
it seems the only custom folder i can have is a fly-out but i find fly-outs to be unreliable in terms of speed;sometimes they're really slow & ,although they look nice,i'd rather have a simple list-view that shows quickly.
am i missing something?
is there a way to do this?
i need custom entries because i have to specify a particular program to open certain files so i can't just sling a "normal" folder on the dock as that would mean the files within the folder would all open in default applications...that's no good.

thanks sleepydawg but that's no good.
i tried that.
the issue is that i need some way of being able to edit the entries in the folder which you can do freely when you add things to a custom folder but the type of folder the custom one is seems to JUST be a fly-out.
i'm stuck.

I like to use my Quick launch folder.
I don't know what you mean by "Custom Folder". I will have to leave that to someone else. You can right click with any extract file and click Open with .. Choose Program.
Hope this helps.
