A Cool Use For Stacks in Snow Leopard: Font viewer

I discovered this one by accident…

I have commonly accessed folders in the Dock. One of those folders happens to be my “Fonts” folder. Using Stacks, I selected the Fonts folder, and saw detailed thumbnail views for all the fonts I have in my collection.

Stacks is imminently more useful in Snow Leopard. For one, you can navigate and tunnel through folders using Stacks – something that was not possible before in Leopard.

Another tip I’d like to share involves Expose. Drag the Expose application from Applications > Utiltiies onto your Dock. You have fast access to all your open and minimized windows (not only in the current window, but even other windows you’ve assigned to other Spaces). Incredibly useful.

The more I play with Snow Leopard, the more I like it.

P.S. Snow Leopard installed without incident on my early ’08 Macbook Pro. I performed the upgrade on top of the existing install. So, two out of the three Macs we own handled the upgrade smoothly.
