Hi,

Anyone know how to hide an app from showing up in the dock?

For example, I was to have stickies open, but not have it in the dock, even when opened.

Thanks!

Search Mac OS X Hints for this one, I believe you have to hack/edit some resource file or something; however, maybe a little app out there does this now that I am unaware of...

dockless will remove an icon from the dock.

or if you want to edit.

show contents on the application you do not want to show in the dock. (i did this for launchbar)

LaunchBar/Contents/Info.plist

open the Info.plist file in textedit and then look for this line:

Code:
<key>LSUIElement</key>

if it exists it should have a line:

Code:
<string>0</string>

below it.

change the 0 to a 1.

if it does not have that LSUI line, then copy and paste this into the file.

Code:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>

you can past it in above the /dict line.

then move the application to your desktop, run it, quit it, move it back to your applications folder (if it was there) and run it.
the moving thing is because in panther, panther will not recognize the new plist changes, and moving the file and running it causes panther to recognize the changes. something like that.

That's it! I knew there was something, just couldn't place the name.

Thanks.
