It still doesn't help. If you miss the trash by a little bit, it moves
out of the way making room for you to add the items to the dock instead
of put them in the trash.
Pinning the Dock to the Trash end would fix that. The Trash wouldn't move.
Or, size the Dock so that there's no room for it to expand. Easy
on a laptop, difficult on a Cinema display.
Holding down the command key reverses the behavior, but I should hardly
have to hold down the command key for this common action. Reversing the
behavior would be ok with me (you must hold down the command key to add
an item to the dock) since adding an item to the dock is a much less
frequent action than trying to drag an item to the trash or on top of an
already running application (which is problematic in the case of the
rightmost application, or the case when you need to drag an app onto
another to "open" such as is the case when opening an applications
terminlogy with the script editor).
Speaking of Dock complaints, I'd like to have pinning points for the Apps
portion and the Docs portion. Also, it'd be nice if you could set the
directory opened when you click on the MacOS icon. I always find myself
clicking on it, even though I usually want my home directory.
BTW, I don't know if this is documented or well known, but docklings
can go in either the application or document sections of the Dock.
However, the Dock really isn't on-topic for cocoa-dev.
