Flat application files placed next to document stacks instead of with applications #7

Best example of this is with Microsoft Office 2004. If you execute:

dockutil --add /Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ 2004/Microsoft\ Excel

The application is added to the right of the document stacks and immediately to the left of the Trash. Adding an --after flag and specifying an existing application makes no difference.

This does not occur with application bundles, for example:

dockutil --add /Applications/iTunes.app

This results in expected behavior.

if real_add_path.endswith('.app') or real_add_path.endswith('.app/'):

Kyle,

I'm no longer with the employer from which I filed the bug. However, since these apps are rare/few and far between, could there just be a flag for this kind of thing?

Thanks.

Is it still possible to have apps that do not end with .app? If so, how can one create those? Or do you have an example?
