    It's just a trick/hack. Someone create an .icns file that looks like a divider, created a folder, named it something.app and stuck it in the dock. Someone on the macnn forums a while back was talking about it. I love the functionality it provides and I wish apple would implement something like that. Off to give some feedback...

    You cant use folders though because folders dont go on that side of the main devider. I made a couple deviders myself a while back

    They are just clear and when you mouse over them they tell you where stuff goes.

    If you add .app to the folder, it'll work. At least it did back in 10.0 or whenever that hack was first suggested.



    edit: I just tried it and it does still work, but a little convolutedly (is that a word?) Rename the folder something.app, drag/drop it to the documents/folder side of the dock. Then move it through the dock over to the application side. I'd make a movie of it, but I never did get snapz pro. I also noticed a cool thing about the dock now: if you drag an icon from the dock over the trash it will say 'remove item from dock.' That's a good thing.
