Daily Trick 41. New List View (10.6)
Sorry for the long hiatus of daily trick series due to lack of internet connection. Now, we're back on the track again.
If you put the Dock on the left of the screen, you're left with two display options, which are Grid View and List View. However, folks at Mac OS X Hints found a Terminal command to bring out new list view.
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall Dock
After execution of the command above, your list view will look like the combination of Grid View and List View.
↑ new List View : After Execution of Command Line
And you can always use command line below to revert back to normal.
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool NO && killall Dock

Love the effect! Looks great!

Very nice indeed!! It works in normal dock (on the bottom of the screen) too. You should mention that :-) Maybe some people think they'll have to put the dock on the left to have this work... Anyway.. I'm using it now!
David Nett
Fantastic. This is a nice little aesthetic tweak that makes my stacks a lot nicer to use (even when the doc is at the bottom, like mine). Thanks so much. -David
David Chu
Actually, defaults is a command. In a Terminal, you can get its usage by typing "man defaults".
For example, you may see all the default settings for the Dock: "defaults read com.apple.dock". This may display a long list. You may direct it to a text file by "defaults read com.apple.dock > myDoc.txt". Or you may use "grep" command as a filter to check if this one is already set or not: "defaults read com.apple.dock | grep stack". My result is empty, which means this one has not been set yet.
By the way, I have a tip on Link to New Tab for Safari's by using defaults command.

Wow!!! Thanks for this great function...i love it when you post daily tricks like that...things that make it look even better!!! Thanks again!!!
Aziz Light
Weird, that doesn't work for me...
Freddie
It didn't work for me either :(
David Chu
Fro the cases that it would not work for some people, my guess is that your account may not have privilege to make changes to default settings. If you know admin's password, you may try to go to supper user first by typing:
su
Then you will be prompt to enter password. If you can get in, try above commands again as admin. As in my above comments, you may try to verify default settings first.
Chris M
It did not work for me either and I have the admin role. I've also verified that the setting did get properly updated:
defaults read com.apple.dock |grep use-new
"use-new-list-stack" = 1;
As you can see, the value is set correctly but the behavior is not changed.
Mackid
I tried this, but my dock disappeared, and the computer won't start up. I hope nothing bad happened...
Mackid
I pressed the power button on my computer, and the apple logo shows up, but no spinning wheel thingy. I booted from the install cd, repaired disk and disk permissions, and rebooted. Still stuck with just an apple logo... At least I made a backup.
Brandon
Chris M, Did you ever get the behavior to change? I have had the same results as you.
Chris M
Sadly, no. I was never able to get the behavior to work as described. I've rebooted, I've even set the value to FALSE, effectively rolling back the changes, and reset the value to TRUE once again, but nothing seems to work. Too bad, it looks like it would have been a very attractive feature.
Jose
Does this only Works for Snow Leopard ?
Chris M
I found the problem, well, not actually a problem but the reason as to why we don't see a change in behavior. If you right click on the folder that is on you Dock, you will see the System menu that will give you the options to:
View Content as:
Fan
Grid
List
Automatic
The Automatic seems to be the default behavior and will usually give you the Grid view or the Fan view depending upon the number of files to display. But you can change the behavior to any of the others and get the desired effect describe in this article. List is the behavior described above.
I hope this helps others left scratching their heads about this feature.
Penny
hey!!! where to put or write this command??????
Chris M
Go to your /Applications/Utilities folder and launch the Terminal application. Once open, enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall Dock
This will enable the new list stack feature and restart the dock. Once the dock restart you will have the options, listed above.
If you right click on the folder that is on you Dock, you will see the System menu that will give you the options to: View Content as:
Fan
Grid
List
Automatic
Claudio
It rocks!! thanks!

Does this work on leopard?
Joey
I was wondering the same. Does this work on leopard?
eRicK
This doesn't worked on Snow Leopard :(

It works in Snow leopard :)
justin Shulman

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.q7urr0IjrshceQhR

Journal entries are the tools accountants use to post transactions into a company's ledger. Two types of entries are reversing entries and adjusting entries. Reversing entries are common at the end of accounting periods. They remove entries originally posted to help balance a company's ledger. These entries often affect payable or expense accounts. Adjusting entries record accruals or deferrals into a company's general ledge. Thanks a lot. Paradise Valley Real Estate

Fill an online application form available on the lenders website with few of the personal details. So repayment duration lasts for one or two weeks. having a fax system which is available on location is extremely important. Plus, online or mobile faxing is much cheaper than regular faxing. Again the wonderful fax marketing companies have addressed this little problem, again in most cases. No fax payday loans are also referred as no fax cash advance, as with these loans the lender offer loan against a particular line of credit. Eco-Friendly: Since online fax is paperless, it is highly eco-friendly as well. On regular sized A4 paper the copy/print speed is 13 copies per minute and on legal sized paper the maximum copy and print speed is 10 cpi. Free Fax Machine Online
