Dock for LM?

[Liriz]

Hello,
Do you know a good simple dock on Linux Mint to display shortcuts to favorite folders?
I have installed Cairo but it doesn't even work with the /home folder it offers by default and it's a real gas factory.
Thanks for your feedback. ^

I use plank it's simple and works well. Good luck.
Install:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install plank

Thank you,
But a little too simple because I do not see any possibility to configure it.

You can configure it by placing the mouse pointer on the dock and pressing Crtl and right clicking it. Then I believe it says panel preference or something like that. you can add items by dragging them there from the menu or checking keep in dock on the right click after a program is running . Good luck.

Little known "gnome-pie" (available in software manager) it can launch your personal folders, as well as applications, and websites too.

What I like best about it is takes no space on your desktop, but is called with a desktop shortcut.
Here's a couple of videos about it.

What about uLaucher, it not a dock but with the right extensions it would do what you want

Too bad that with Plank, when I click on the icon of a folder, it shows me the entire internal tree structure without opening everything directly in a window and that I cannot configure this for direct opening in a window.
And I don't know how to create a link in the bar to the root.

Otherwise thank you for Gnome-pie I don't know what to choose yet ... but it's good.
