1. Drag the folder you want to the Dock.
2. Right-click on the folder, and choose "Display as: Folder".
3. Right-click on the folder again, and choose "View content as: List".
4. Enjoy.

I have successfully viewed hierarchical folders up to five levels deep, from the Dock, using this method.

OldFolder ReviewEither it does or it doesn't - Version: 1.1.0, 12/18/2007 05:17PM PST

Either make the app restore the Tiger Dock functionality in Leopard or just stop saying this:

"OldFolder is an application that revives the pre-Leopard dock's hierarchical menu interface for folders".

....because it flat out doesn't. HierarchicalDock is actually closer at mimicking Tiger's dock functionality than this one is and that one doesn't get any cigars either.

Look...I realize this is free...and thanks for the effort....but it is a buggy app (drag a folder onto the app icon and watch it crash) and doesn't permit a folder to be placed back on the right side of the dock. Instead, we get a running application and no right click for hierarchic menuing...like it was in Tiger. This is my objection to the feature blurb. It simply doesn't revive the pre-Leopard dock interface.

The app I want to see lets Apple have their moronic eye-candy fan/grid crapfest with left clicking (which it does now) and the restored functionality of right-clicking for hierarchic menuing while losing the forced contents folder icon. I'd pay money to get that back.

OldFolder ReviewNice But Needs A Bit More - Version: 1.0.3, 11/27/2007 09:03PM PST

I just loaded it and it's a nice application but for it to be useful to me, it needs to go deeper than just 3, I would need at least 5-6. I tried sending them an email at their site and their email address parser has some issues. It rejected all my email address.
