10.5: Prevent Stacks from changing docked folder icons

Like others, I use a space as well. However, I name mine " Open in Finder" for each of my aliases. That way then clicked, the folder opens. As a bonus, it appears at the bottom of fans, so it's a faster target than the usual "Show in Finder" item.

Stacks truly is a horribly damaged "feature". Give us back a static top icon and hierarchical menus when right/control-clicked, and I'll be happy. The fan/grid can be useful, but not at the expense of other features!
