Product Description:
Quay extends the Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Dock to show extended popup menus for most Dock items, including applications, stacks, Smart Folders and URLs. Quay also allows you to make folder proxy icons with easily customized icons.
So why should you use Quay at all? Extra information, more flexibility. For one, the Dock's popups are limited to about 500 items; Quay's limit is in the tens of thousands. You can have a Quay popup on both sides of the Dock; Apple has them only on the document side. The Dock doesn't follow aliases/symbolic links in its menus; Quay does. It works for Smart Folders, also shows application versions and (for running applications) CPU and memory statistics. Still, if for some reason you want the Dock's normal display, just hold the Option key down before clicking.
Quay is a simple-to-use Cocoa application. You can run it just to configure a popup item in the Dock, but it works automatically with your existing stacks; the actual popup is handled by a background process that uses few system resources. The Dock icons can be customized for better recognition (and put on both sides of the Dock).
Quay does no magic. It doesn't hack the Dock in any way, and calls no private system interfaces.
There is no trial period, but only the first Quay item on each side of the Dock will work until you register. Application popups are a free bonus!
What's new in this version:
- Dragging out a plain folder from the Quay window now keeps the folder icon.
- The Dock's selected icon name display is now suppressed correctly in all cases. I think.
- The background application no longer loads Contextual Menu Plugins (which it never used, anyway).
- Works around a Leopard bug which would mess up the menu location after unplugging the monitor the menu bar was on.
- The icon for plain folders dragged out of the Quay window is again a folder icon.
- Fixed small errors in the French localization.

New features like cmd-opt-click on a running app in the Dock to get process info, combined with the sheer awesomeness of using folders in the dock like I'm used to, makes this a must have.
still cannot drag off of menus...

johnnyventoOne thing that DID get fixed was the inappropriate length of time the subfolder lists stayed active... that crippled this application until now.
