The "Official" Must Have Free Apps/tools Thread

[iGary]

This is a great thread.

I now use ONyX on all my machines versus forcing maintenance in Terminal, and Clutter is a great app, too.

Anyone know of an app that will let me run my iPhoto library off an external HD?

Anybody know of an app, similar to volspace, but also able to show the size of folders?

and btw, this is a wonderfull thread - can't do without quicksilver anymore...

I'm giving Onyx a try, but my first problem is that three menu bar app's I use only show up on the menu bar when Onyx is selected.

I use Tiger Launch, Bluephone Elite, and Backlight. THese now show up on the left side of the menu bar when Onyx is being used and don't show at all otherwise. Any way to correct this?

 

[iGary]

Are you using Onyx 1.5?

There is an older version out there....

 

[swindmill]

yes, it is 1.5. I'm fairly new to Mac's so I don't have much insight into why this is happening, but basically the 3 apps affected are menu bar items that aren't on the menu bar by default, so I imagine that's the root of the issue

Disctop LightThe lite version is free.

I learned about it from forum member Lau.

The Pro version of Disctop is free as well

Not sure but iPhoto Buddy should do the trick.
