AppMenuBoy Adds an Applications Menu to Your Dock [Featured Mac Download]

appmenuboythumb.png Mac OS X only: Back in the non-Stacks days of Tiger, you could add a folder to the Dock and expand it into a hierarchical menu. Now with Stacks you can’t easily navigate subfolders from a folder on the Dock, but small utility AppMenuBoy aims to change that—for your Applications folder, that is. Start up AppMenuBoy and expand your Applications folder into a Tiger-style hierarchical menu, as shown after the jump.

AppMenuBoy is a free download for Mac OS X only.

OK, slightly more functional than dropping the Applications folder onto the Dock, but… where are the icons?

Give Gina a break!
If you’d read the linked article, you’d see that it does a bit more than just add the menu…

“My application AppMenuBoy restores the Tiger behavior plus a little more: it shows only applications, follows aliases, and if a folder contains only an application, it silently “hoists” that application in the menu so you don’t have hierarchical menus that contain only a single icon.”

See? That’s why it’s here…

Does anyone at LH actually own a Mac? I’ve been subscribing to the Mac tag via RSS for about 6 months now, and every Mac related article seems to come from people who don’t have a clue.

yeh - this was an issue with the first iteration of Leopard, though it was fixed in 10.5.2

Right click any stack and select list view…

I don’t get it?? I can do this already just choose to view the stacks content as a list.
