Re: Finder most recent files and folders

You can put a Recent Documents in the right side of your Dock.

Mac OS X stacks usually list the contents of specified folders, but the Dock has a hidden "Recent Items" Stack feature for Applications, Documents, Servers, and Volumes.

In terminal.app copy and paste:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'  && killall Dock

… then right-click on the new Stack to choose which information to display.

To revert the change, right-click (or control-click) on the Recent Items Stack and choose the “Remove from Dock” option.

YOU CAN ALSO RUN COMMAND AGAIN FOR MUTIPLE RECENT ITEMS PLACED ON DOCK…. THEREFORE YOU COULD HAVE ALL (right click and choose which of the following:) Applications, Documents, Servers, and Volumes
