Also, there was no PC laptop that was as thin and fast as the MacBook Air. Additionally, two software packages that prevented me from switching from Windows to Linux in the past were available for OS X, Adobe CS and Microsoft Office. I had not used OS X very much in the past, but I liked the idea of having a sleek user interface on top of a Unix-based OS, which would have tools that I’m familiar with from Linux (or if not, would be available). Over the summer, I purchased the MacBook Air. I recently started using OS X after years of using Windows and Ubuntu. I believe that I did this so that the icons would appear correctly in the Finder toolbar. I have uploaded a bunch of AppleScript scripts that I have found useful in OS X’s Finder. Update : The zip file now includes the updated version of the muCommander launcher (see comments). You can restore Gatekeeper settings to your original option noted earlier. Once each of the programs on your toolbar has been successfully launched, they no longer go through Gatekeeper. Make a note of the current setting for Allow apps downloaded from:, and then change it to Anywhere and confirm by pressing Allow From Anywhere. You should move it to the Trash.” To prevent this from happening, open Gatekeeper settings located in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Also, on OS X version 10.8 and newer, opening the programs may not work, instead displaying a message that “ Program is damaged and can’t be opened. Update : Depending on your version of OS X, you may have to hold down the command key before and during dragging the icons to the Finder toolbar. It would probably be easier to create the apps from scratch using the source code and icons below (be sure to export the scripts as apps using Script Editor). However, even after doing this you’ll still have to use the workaround for the -1743 error described above. This can be altered by running sudo spctl -master-disable to temporarily disable Gatekeeper before initially launching or editing the apps, and then sudo spctl -master-enable afterwards to turn Gatekeeper back on. The workaround steps from the update below are no longer applicable, since the Anywhere option is no longer available in the security settings. If you haven’t already installed the apps, you will receive a “ Program is damaged…” message when trying to load the application in Script Editor. After doing this, launching the new apps will prompt you for permission to run. A workaround is to open each app in Script Editor, copy and paste the code to a new script, and save new apps (doing this will not retain the icons, which will have to be transferred to the new apps). If you’ve already installed them, you will receive the error, Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder. Update : The scripts no longer work as-is on macOS 10.14 Mojave.
