| ok i made a folder, then put a bunch of aliases inside of it, then dragged that folder into the dock. but when i actually start the program, another icon for the program appears in the dock....those are the icons i want to do something with. I already use Snard to organize my apps on the dock, which is pretty much what you were telling me to do i think. My thought was that once an app was started, and then hidden, to sort of remove the icon from the dock, or maybe arrange then into some sort of subfolder or something.  |

| Apps, that you dont normally have in the dock, that only show up when you start them, dissapears from the dock when you hide them. unless you use a third-party plug-in, like tinker-tools, to have them rendered as faded. regards Decado

| if i remember right, tinker tool only fades them out = they still are there, in the same order, taking as much space. The only wat to have as little icons as possible seems to have their on hold items as little as possible (e.g. i could take away appleworks and itunes) .. How would it work to see then what ou have runnning ? Passing slowly over the dock with mouse?

| I agree. In 10.2.3 on a relatively unspoiled new installation (my iMac), the icons of _running and hidden_ applications do not disappear. They just fade. I'm not running Tinkertool, either. Doug

| Well, if it should disappear from the dock when you hide it, how should you get it back, without double-clicking the application again?
