Mac: Add additional "Recent Items" stacks to the Dock

By default you only get one, and you can select Recent Applications, Recent Documents, Recent Servers, Favorite Volumes or Favorite Items. Leopard forces you to pick one. Well, I wanted more than one, so I ran the following command in Terminal:

1
2
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'
killall Dock

And a new Recent Items stack appears. Just right click and set it to whatever you want it to be. To delete it, just drag it off the dock.
