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...
They are just clear and when you mouse over them they tell you where stuff goes.</strong><hr></blockquote>
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.

<strong>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
