Question about Stacks

[someone28624]

Biggest example is stacks. Neat, looks cute and all -- great job Apple, but you can't navigate through sub-folders or even have an option to revert to the normal menu style?

The thread I pulled this out of is locked, but I had a question- what does it mean about the option to revert back to the normal menu style? Making a stack of something doesn't take it out of finder, no? What "normal menu style" can you not use if you have stacks on?

It's referring to a function of Tiger where if you ctrl-clicked on a folder in the dock it would show a hierarchical list of folders that were navigable like a windows start menu. This feature does not exist anymore in Leopard.

Here's an example (not my computer screen):

Wow, that's cool, never knew you could do that. So if you have stacks enabled, it's not possible to do this? Can you disable stacks?

How to disable stacks is the million dollar question everyone has been trying to answer since Leopard came out 2 days ago. If you can figure it out there are a lot of people who will gladly pay for the solution as there is no known way to disable stacks as of right now.

Here's an existing thread about possible solutions.
