Open Dock aliases in Path Finder

[mamster]

I'm playing around with PF4 and it looks great. Here's one thing I haven't figured out. I like having my Documents folder in the right side of the dock; I usually just single-click it to bring up the window. How can I make it open in Path Finder rather than the Finder?

Thanks!

This is a long standing annoyance, but unfortunately Apple hardwires the Dock to call the Finder when opening folders. Besides hacking the OS there's not much we can do.

The only work around I know of is to create a Path Finder alias (see the File menu) of the item you want PF to open, and then put *that* into the Dock. I think that should work, but I haven't tested it.

Sorry!

yes, the path finder alias works, if all you need to do is have one-click opening. unfortunately, right clicking the item in the dock to display it's contents does not work, but this is still a decent work around.
