How to add recent application stack to dock!

Hey guys here is a really cool thing you can do in OSX. It allows you to add a recent application stack to your dock. Copy and paste this code into the terminal,

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

EDIT: for some unknown reason the code is not working if you copy and paste it, so either type it in manually or take it from the youtube video description. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hit enter, then type, killall Dock, This will restart the dock. Viola you now have a recent application stack!

Thanks for the tip. If you’d like to share the text without it getting damaged through the Wordpress editor, I recommend making a .txt file in TextEdit, then Zip it by right clicking on the file and “creating archive” and then place that file on a server with a download link.

Hope that helps,

Andrew
