My Dock, curious about others.

[slooksterPSV]

I took a screen-clip of my dock bar and whoa, that is a lot of applications I have in it. And I probably use almost all of them. But here it is and the applications they are - so if you can't tell what they are:

Anyone elses bigger than that lol. I think mine is huge!

 

[iLikeMyiMac]

Mine is pretty small because I use quicksilver and that keeps me from needing too many apps in the dock.
I have:
Finder

[stevehaslip]

er i tend to only put the apps in that i use on a daily basis and i don't use that many so my docks not that large. For instance although i have fireworks i dont put it in the dock because i vastly prefer photoshop. I mean how hard is it to push command+shift+a?

Yes you do have a lovely large dock but i think someone might be able to beat you, hell i could beat you if i wanted! (but to be honest i can't be arsed to put loads of apps in the dock) But i am sure someone will trump you!

One thing though, do you put your dock on magnification? it really bugs me when you scroll through a mass of icons and they all pop up to be massive! i guess thats another reason why i try not to have too many icons in my dock. Whats it like if you have 20 images open in photoshop or something?!

Small dock, basically for my everyday apps that are constantly open. I use Quicksilver to launch apps and access my info - saves me from suffering from Dock envy!

 

[mrgreen4242]

That looks pretty excessive... I always viewed the dock as a 'seconday' way to launch apps, and only things that are used constantly go there... I think I would have a hard time finding what I wanted on your desktop...

On related question, is it possible to have more than one dock? On my Linux desktop (running KDE) I have to taskbars, one on the bottom and one on the right hand side. I find this enormously helpful. The bottom/standard taskbar has the "start" button, a 'show desktop' button, mozzila, and my mail app. the it goes to all the open application tiles, and on the right there's the system tray, virtual desktops, clock, and a handy dictionary application (I can't spell =p).

On the right hand taskbar I have all my secondary programs... media play, calc, IM, system configuration/Xkill, weather, etc. I find it enormously useful. I'll see of I can include a pic...

Anyways, could I do this on a Mac?

Sad thing is, I use these programs a lot. So yeah, I don't want to have to go searching through my HDD's just to find what I'm looking for. And yes I have magnification on, sometimes it gets in the way with other applications like Photoshop, Illustrator and what not, but yeah it works. I should get rid of LyX since I finally got my Microsoft Office to work. LyX just seems useless now and I have no need for it. I'll filter out my Dock. By the way, how well does Audium work? I'm questioning weather or not I should download it. MSN Messenger works ok, and I don't have very many other IM's I use except iChat, but I like iChat so yeah. Also, I see a few different programs in your guy's dock that I'm wondering what they are/do. Yeah...

I find having the applications folder in the dock is nice to get to all those applictaions that you use only occasionally. Click and hold and it works like the start menu in windows.

BTW, slooksterPSV, why do you have both mail and entourage in the dock? Do yu use both and what are the advantages to using both?

I could clean out a few things that I don't use every week but what's the point? The Dock images wouldn't be any larger and I'd have to dig through things to find the applications.

I'm wondering why anyone has System Preferences in their Dock when the Apple menu has System Preferences handy.

I guess I have very few apps in the dock. But I use quicksilver so there is no problem. The following are always running on my pb.

1. Safari
2. Mail
3. Address Book
4. iCal
5. iTunes
6. X11
7. Terminal
8. TexShop
9. Adium
10. Azureus
11. MATLAB
12. Trash


But out of these, Adium, Azureus, and MATLAB are not actually a part of the dock.

cheers

Here ya go.

I control/right-click on the icons in the right to open the popup windows. You see the apps in the Exposé screenshot.

 

[jimjiminyjim]

Small dock, basically for my everyday apps that are constantly open. I use Quicksilver to launch apps and access my info - saves me from suffering from Dock envy!

I'm in the same place. Only the apps that are pretty much always open sit in the dock. The rest I access with Quicksilver, a program that I love (who needs spotlight? [yes, I know, spotlight will be more powerful]).

 

[slooksterPSV]

So far Bousozuko is winning. OMG that is a long list of apps. How often to you use them? I use pretty much all of mine. I don't use freehand very much, but its an application that is part of a suite so its worth it to have in the dock. I need to buy a new Mac so the apps load faster, but hey, there's not too bad of a lag on my machine, 233MHz (read siggy).

Even though I still dont have a mac, I dont see the point in having a small dock. People say it looks cleaner, but damit its to make it easier and quicker acces to your aps.
Just like how people dont have icons on the desktop... what the hell is the point of the desktop then, just a pretty picture?
