Opening The Finder Via Stacks?

[dissdnt]

I love the new stacks in snow leopard but sometimes I find myself wanting to space bar to preview etc and I can't so I want to quickly launch the finder into that folder. Is there a way? ie a hotkey and a click etc.

Thanks

"Open in Finder"?

It's an "arrow" icon in the stack.

If I understand your question, you want to be able to use the space bar to preview items in a stacks folder. If that's the case, when you click on the stack, one of the items is:

​

Click that, then highlight what you want to preview and press the space bar.

Stacks need Quicklook like a fish needs water.

Command-click on the icon in the Dock to open its containing folder in the Finder. Works for apps, folders, stacks, anything. You can even command-click on an item *in* a stack to open its containing folder in the Finder.

This doesn't work with the Downloads folder. If I Command-click the Downloads folder on the Dock, I Get this:

If I just click on the Downloads folder I get this:
