There's no support in WGM's Dock preference editor for these settings, and I haven' t been able to make them work using the Preference Details editor. It might be possible, though. Certainly you can set this for yourself; it may or may not be possible to manage these settings.

But i don't really like stacks. Is there a value that forces a folder to display a hierarchical menu, like it was in good old Tiger? I have a folder who contains some sub-folders with aliases of the most important apps and would like to navigate to them with a single click. Excellent, thanks.

I want things to work the first time. I wonder if it would fix itself if the management frequency was "often" or "always"...? I guess I’m not that patient! I want things to work the first time.
