Mac OS X Snow Leopard introduces Stacks, which allow users to view and access files and applications directly from the Dock. Stacks automatically organize their contents in a fan or grid based on item number, and users can customize sort order and view style. Common file folders like Documents, Downloads, and Applications are set up as stacks by default for convenient access to recent items without opening a new window.
