OSX Leopard: Open Folder In Dock?

Check out the folder in the dock on the Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 screenshot of iCal from Apple’s website. Notice the folder has a black triangle under it like applications do when they are open?

Folder Open
What could this mean? Post your thoughts below.

    Word on the street is that it’s part of a “springing” feature. You drag a file over a dock icon, wait a few seconds, and the folder/app will open and let you drop the file in the window.

    Maybe its just that that folder is open in Finder?

    M2E, yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It looks like that when I open a folder in my dock in Finder.

    What’s more strange is that the iCal’s Dock Icon has no triangle, but obviously the iCal is running.

    Maybe it’s a smart folder working on something.

    Maybe Apple’s just got their own internal “Fake Leopard Screen Shots” department going and someone just wasn’t on the ball that day.

    Could it be related to “Spaces”?

    Re Michal’s comment on iCal – I read a rumor somewhere that iCal will be somehow integrated into Address Book.

    Maybe this is some sort of beta version of leopard????????

    Most of Apple’s screenshots (certainly the one on the boxes and press releases!) are not true screenshots, i’d say Jeff is probably right… particularly with the lack of iCal Triangle … someone slipped up and missed the triangle out :P

    Probably all done in Photoshop :-D

    Here’s a thought: Maybe it’s a mockup and the photoshopper forgot to remove the triangle.

    I mananged to get my hands on a copy of 10.5… yeah that trinagle never apears under folders… at least not from the 4500 thing I tried to get it there…. thought the new springing dock option… real sweet.

    I don’t think iCal will integrate with adress book in one app, because they just mocked Windows for doing this so long, and only now doing it like in Tiger.

    Has anyone noticed that there is no arrow under iCal? The app that is SHOWN to be open. Totally fake.

    I have a feeling that whoever made this screenshot knew this would raise much confused debate. heheh.
