DockDisks is an unsupported hack that causes disks to auto-mount in the Dock. This can be handy if you want to put your dock on the right side of the screen but want to avoid the conflict for space with the disk icons on the desktop. It can also help avoid the problem of desktop icons becoming covered up by open windows.
DockDisks is an unsupported hack, and as such it is obviously not perfect. The main caveat is that the Dock is quit and relaunched when the list of disks is refreshed, because the Dock has no API for adding/removing items, and thus has to be relaunched to refresh its settings. However, DockDisks does do its job, which is to put your disks in the dock.
Current features: Preference pane interface Can be set to automatically launch at login Automatically mounts disks when they are inserted Automatically unmounts disks when they are ejected Automatically ejects removable disks and servers when they are dragged off of the dock Allows the user to choose whether to display fixed disks, removable disks, servers, or any combination thereof in the dock.
