DESCRIPTION
ToolBar Extras is a set of apps that adds a little more functionality to your Finder windows. Take a look at the screenshot to see how I have set it up on my machine.
There is a 30 launch limit on most apps, but some are free. Purchase it to unlock them all forever!
Click "More Information" to see the details.
Note: To add them to the toolbar, just drag the app to the toolbar, wait maybe three seconds and you will notice that you can now drop it there.
- Burn.app - a Quick way to burn the current Finder window to a CD or DVD
- Delete.app - avoid using the Trash and permanently delete any file or folder
- Details.app - get a quick list of all files and folders within the current Finder window
- Eject.app - Use one Eject button to manage all volumes
- File.app - Quickly create text files (txt, html, php, cgi, etc)... also use "index (1-25).html" to create a list of html files files numbered from 1 thru 25
- Folder.app - Quickly create new folders... also use "Name (1-25)" to create a series of folders numbering 1 thru 25.
- GoToFolder.app - a quick reference to "Finder>Go>Go to Folder..."
- Home.app - a one button solution to get you back to your home folder
- Info.app - open up the inspector window
- Invisible.app - Quickly toggle a file/folders visibility/invisibility.
- Maintenance.app - perform basic cleanup functions and maintenance scripts
- Pause.app - a portable version of App_Pauser ($9.99 alone)... puase and resume any process to free up CPU.
- Permissions.app - chmod or chown your files and folders
- Refresh.app - Simply refresh the current Finder window to update dates and sizes.
- Server.app - a quick reference to "Finder>Go>Connect to Server"
- Shutdown.app - quickly shutdown or restart your computer.
- Toggle.app - Turn on/off the Finders ability to show hidden files
- Trash.app - securely delete files in the trash for all users on all volumes.
- Up.app - better than the "Back" button, this button allows you to go back one directory at all times.
To add the apps to your Finder Toolbar:
- Place the "ToolBar Extras" folder wherever you like on your hard drive. Then navigate inside.
- Choose the app you wish to place in the Toolbar, than drag it up to your Toolbar. Wait a couple of seconds then you will see the Toolbar ìmake roomî for the app.
- Repeat only for the apps you wish to use.
- Then, to move the apps around into a different order, just simply "control-click" the Toolbar and "Customize Toolbar", then you will be able to drag them around or remove them.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.0: - Better support thru Mosaic Interactive
- New Leopard icons and Leopard support

ANONYMOUS Also, a "portable version" of "App_Pauser" is included in ToolBar Extras. That software alone sells for $9.99.

LOUNGE DELUXE I bought these Toolbar Extras almost 2 years ago for $5. Now they're charging 4 times as much for the very same Toolbar Extras! That seems like an odd price strategy to me, particularly in these times of economical recession, but then what do I know. Luckily for me the 'old' Toolbar extras still seem to work fine.

LOUNGE DELUXE Great tools, and I decided to buy them them right away. However some tools like trash require you to have admin rights in order to execute them. I only have one account on my Mac, an admin account but I use it without a password. These tools that require admin rights don't work as I have no password to fill in. I send the developer an email about this but unfortunately never received an answer.

RAYMONDLEWISJONES Um, I never received your email, curious which address you sent it to. Okay, so you need admin rights only when you plan on changing someone else's account. Like when you choose to empty trash on all users. Sadly, any app that changes something with the system will need an admin password. Like "Maintenance" or "Shutdown".

LOUNGE DELUXE I send an email to the address that was mentioned on the paypal receipt on November 22, 2007 at 1.33 pm (your name at yahoo.com). I'm not sure if I expained it well. I have only one account on my Mac, so I'm always admin. I always install apps for every user, if asked for by an installer. When I tried to trash something through your toolbar extras (an Apple lossless music file), the app stated that I did not have enough rights and that I needed to be an admin. I selected the space where I can type a password and hit enter key, but that didn't do the trick. All apps besides Toolbar Extras that require me to enter my admin password accept the fact that I do not use a password, and hitting the enter key is in those cases enough.

RAYMONDLEWISJONES So in your Accounts, you have no password entered in for your user? So when asked by any other app or installer, you just leave it blank? I have never heard of such a thing, but I will address it as soon as I can. It is probably a quick fix, and a new version will be available shortly, so this complaint will be fixed in the new version.

RAYMONDLEWISJONES A quick fix may be to enter a password like "sample", click the keychain checkbox to add it to your keychain, then go to your keychain access in your utilities folder and change the password for "com.electriceelprod.nameofapp" to be "" (type two double quotes)

MNICONA Hi...great app, but I've hit a big problem and am worried! I made two of my folders invisible and have no idea to make them visible again. I also used up all the allowed attempts trying!!! I'm not overly techy, but any help you can give to let me know how to make the folders reappear is much appreciated. I've tried uninstalling the app and restarting but the folders are gone :( Please anyone!

REDDOG99 MNICONA, try a utility such as OnyX to see invisible files. Then use something like Xray to change the visibility.
(Version 2.0.1) | |
| Nov 24 2007 |
RAYMONDLEWISJONES Oh, okay. Use "Toggle" (included as a free ToolBar Extra). This will show invisible files. Then use whatever program, possibly XRay as mentioned to toggle the invisibility of those items.

MNICONA Thanks guys! Xray worked really easily :)

RAYMONDLEWISJONES So sorry to those who are trying to downlaod this today. I have taken it off my server for temp. Once the newest version (2.0) is available, prob later today, it will be back up. Such a re-vamp that it was needed to remove it. http://software.electriceelprod.com/toolbarextras.html This will give you a sneak peek of what to expect.
