Apple giveth, and Apple taketh away… and sometimes Apple giveth back again. In this case, Apple took away some Dock functionality when it replaced pop-up menus with Stacks. Mac OS X 10.5.2 brings Tiger-style functionality back to the Dock, and it’s super easy to enable. 
Take your Dock folder view from this…
Here’s how:
- Click and hold on the Dock folder icon that you want to change from Leopard’s Stacks-style Grid or Fan to Tiger’s List-style view.
List brings back Tiger-style pop-up menus.- Choose List from the pop-up menu.
…to this.I prefer using the List view for the folders in my Dock because accessing sub-folders and files is much easier since each parent item includes a fly-out menu to show everything it contains. That’s a real time saver for me.
- Choose List from the pop-up menu.
