While some Mac users are very good about keeping their Mac desktop clean and tidy, others use it like a real desktop &#8212; a place to drop files and folders before figuring out where they need to be placed permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Stacks wants to make it easy for Mac users to keep their desktops tidy by automating file and folder collation. To demonstrate Stacks, let&#8217;s look at a messy&nbsp;desktop &#8212; I&#8217;ve deliberately thrown a bunch of files onto that beautiful Mojave wallpaper to show how Stacks can make this tidy. Here&#8217;s what the desktop looks like before Stacks (see screenshot below):<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45521\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45521\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725.jpg\" alt=\"A deliberately messy Mojave desktop\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-192x120-1.jpg 192w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-284x178-1.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-190x119-1.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-272x170-1.jpg 272w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-192x120-1@2x.jpg 384w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-284x178-1@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-10.39.20-AM-e1534178706725-190x119-1@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(A deliberately messy Mojave desktop.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To invoke Stacks, one can either right-click on the desktop and select &#8220;Use Stacks&#8221; from the menu that appears, choose View &gt; Use Stacks from the menu bar, or use the Command &#8211; Control &#8211; O keyboard shortcut.

It&#8217;s much more tidy, and if I throw another image file (.jpg, .png, etc&#8230;) onto the desktop, it is automatically added to the Images stack.<\/p>\n<p>Stacks can create&nbsp;new stacks as well. Let&#8217;s say that I didn&#8217;t have any image files on the desktop, and then placed one there. It would appear on its own as a .jpg file, but if I added another image file to the desktop, an images stack would be created with both files in it. Folders do not &#8220;stack&#8221; &#8212; they remain on their own as folders.<\/p>\n<p>How do you look at what&#8217;s in a stack? It&#8217;s easy &#8212; clicking on a stack expands it to reveal the files inside, with a stack icon appearing in the location of the original stack (see screenshot below). That icon has a downward-pointing triangle on it &#8212; click it to&nbsp;bring the stack back. Once the files in a stack are revealed, they can be dragged and dropped (an image file into a Message, for example) or right-clicked to perform Quick Actions and other standard actions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45523\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45523\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548.jpg\" alt=\"Click on a stack to view the files within it; click the stack icon to collapse it again\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-192x120-1.jpg 192w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-284x178-1.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-190x119-1.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-272x170-1.jpg 272w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-192x120-1@2x.jpg 384w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-284x178-1@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.03.52-AM-e1534180423548-190x119-1@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(Click on a stack to view the files within it; click the stack icon to collapse it again.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Want to see the contents of more than one stack at a time?
