When you click and hold on an application's dock icon, its dock menu pops up. It typically includes a list of the application's recently opened documents (assuming it supports opening documents). I find these lists to be the most convenient way to quickly locate and open such files--preferring it to the Open Recent command in applications' File menus. Except for one thing: the dock menu lists periodically get messed up. Most especially the lists often don't update as you open new documents, leaving you with an out-of-date list. In contrast, file lists accessed via the Open Recent command are always correct.Related StoriesThe real reason why the Mac Pro was doomed
