ToolBar Extras 4.1

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.

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.
