Finder Tweaks 2: Extra Toolbar Items

Sometimes when we are working around with Mac Finder, we need to have some quick shortcuts to quickly launch application or to navigate to particular application. From the Finder itself we can customize the toolbar.

You can actually drag and drop most used tools like Path, New Folder, Get Info, Eject, and Delete as main toolbar for most of quick file actions. To arrange toolbar, we can add one or more separators or flexible spaces.

Besides, there are a lot of extra tools out there that we can use to increase our productivity. I have only added few toolbar items as I don't want to clutter my Finder toolbar itself.

Hi!  I’m a MacOS newbie and I find your articles/hints extremely useful and easy to follow... thanks!! I was looking at the screenshots above and noticed a ‘toolbar’ at the bottom of your Finder windows; the one that has icons for ‘Macintosh HD’, ‘User’ and ‘chardy’. Can you please explain how I could get something like this in my Finder? Thanks!

Wendy

Hi, Dimi. You only need to open Finder and then go to menu bar, choose View → Show Path Bar and then you're set.

Thanks so much Wendy!

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.P4Tz1OuoG0TpWlHL

Liked the way Green GT is working for the future electric cars, but are they more environment friendly? With the depletion in non renewable resources in next coming 15-20 years, can we have this as an option to run on renewable energy... Also, how safe are these to drive on roads in US. Does this involve any safety driving rules for the drivers and help them drive defensively. nts download form
