Quay 1.0
From Rainer Brockerhoff, Quay is a utility to bring hierarchical folders (with distinct icons) to Leopard’s Dock. Each Quay Dock tile is a document for Quay’s helper app, which pops up the menu when you click on the document in the Dock. This clever, hack-free design has the downside that the Quay menus appear on mouse-up rather than mouse-down.
Update: Brockerhoff discusses Quay’s development.

What does that mean? It only happens when you're not hodling down the mouse button? The sub-folders only appear when you actually move the mouse upward? Please clarify for the people who don't know all the GUI/ergonomics lingo...
It means that the menu appears when you release the mouse button instead of when you press it. Standard Mac menus appear when you press the button.
Feature, not bug. You don't have the RSI-inducing stress of tensing your finger muscles while you ponder the popup menu.
