Downloads Stack

Welcome to Mac OS X Lion.

The Dock in Lion includes Stacks, which you can use to quickly access frequently
used files and applications.
Stacks are simple to create.
Just drag any folder to the
right side of the Dock
and it becomes a stack. Click a stack and it springs from the Dock in either a fan
or a grid. To open a file in a stack, click the file once.

Mac OS X Lion includes two premade stacks called Documents and Downloads
You opened this file from the Downloads stack. The Downloads stack captures
all of your Internet downloads and puts them in one convenient location. Files
you download in Safari, Mail, and iChat go right into the Downloads stack. When

a file finishes downloading, the stack notifies you by bouncing and puts the new
file right on top, so it’s easy to find.

Documents Downloads

Stacks automatically display their contents in a fan or a grid based on the


number of items in the stack. You can also view the stack as a list. If you prefer
one style over the other, you can set the stack to always open in that style.

Stacks intelligently show the most relevant items first, or you can set the sort
order so that the items you care about most always appear at the top of the
stack.
To customize a stack, press the Control key and click the stack’s icon.
Choose the settings you want from the menu.

To remove a file from a stack, just open the stack and drag the item to another
location. To delete a file, move it to the Trash. In fact, when you’re done reading
this document, feel free to throw it out.
