Quay returns pop-ups to Leopard's Dock
Independent coder Rainer Brockerhoff has released v1.0 of Quay, an add-on for Mac OS X Leopard. While Apple developed the Stacks feature of the Leopard Dock to be more convenient, Quay returns the hierarchical menus of Tiger, while introducing new differences. Clicking on a folder, for instance, can show files organized by user-specified criteria, such as name, date or file type. Accompanying icons can be displayed in different sizes, and options are present for showing invisible or packaged content.
Quay is a Universal Binary for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and costs €7 ($10). Users can however try it for free in a trial version, the limitation being that only the first Quay item in a Dock will work until the software is registered.

When you double-click on a dock folder in Quay, it's supposed to open THAT folder, but instead it opens the parent folder.
Personally I *love* Stacks -- for SOME uses. But Apple really dropped the ball in not providing (or at least providing devs) a way to choose Stacks OR the previous functionality without draconian solutions.
What spring-loading feature is available in the dock in Tiger? I have never had the ability to spring-load the folders in the dock, just on the desktop.
