Here reprinted from Wei’s Google Code page, Netizen Wei wrote the Alfred extensions,:
Google Manual Update v1.0
Actually, I do not understand, such a big company as Google let users choose update functions do so hard (especially Daddy Google Drive even upgrade testing keys are not)? Always without allows background automatically update, this let some people including I are is annoying, so wrote has a simple of extended to close system in the of Google background upgrade program, and began manually check and upgrade, but it does not delete you of background program, just will its automatically detection cycle by default of a days a times drop for no, and began manually upgrade, finished Hou will has Growl tips. Available in Chrome, Google Drive, software such as Google Earth.
Extract 4L-Multi-Part Archives v1.5
★ Version 1.5：
Resource discovery in a recent game was pressed into 4 layers, the first layer is a separate package, the second layer is a random one ZIP package, the third layer is the part of rar format volumes, and finally the fourth layer also has a ZIP, RAR or RAR volumes (to this basic APP is the in the past) … I really don’t know where foreigners want to simply boring. Compatible so this extension has been updated to this, four-layer package directly to extract the last APP to the desktop, without the need to extract one more.
Note:
1, extract resources for confirmation before downloading is complete, does not extract the password, otherwise you may extract is not successful.
2, dealing with large volumes may be slower when the package, there is nothing in the process of implementation tips, patiently waiting for the operation to complete the Growl messages appear, but actually uses this extension will be faster than using compressed extract software.
Free Inactivate Memory v1.0
Of course I know there is a lot to clean up inactive memory software for Apple systems, but my idea is that if you can use more simple and fast way, why not? ：P
★ Features introduced:
1, release the non-active part of the memory occupied by the current system, you can reduce the memory when the program is run too much cotton phenomenon.
2, it will only clear the memory within a maximum range of security, has no effect and the programs that are currently running on the system.
3, support for 10.5-10.7+ systems, will give priority to use the purge command, if the system does not purge command is used, the effect is the same (10.6 default does not purge the system, unless you install the default Xcode,10.7+ system seems to purge)
4, you can query the current system memory usage profile, you can compare the values change to clean before and after, mainly of non-active and available space of two bars.
5, General bottom this extension could probably clean the memory footprint about 1/2-1/3 before, but if you’re not currently active system memory footprint than 1G, it automatically cleans up to 200M, the effect is very obvious.
Lock These Folders v1.0
This extension from the macidea Forum a classmate a question of inspiration, has never done it before this type of plugin, but in willingness to study, or took a long time to get out. Extension is simple, select locked single or multiple folders in the current window, that is, implementation, and then will ask you to enter a password to open the folder, not many arguments on the two, but the actual production is not easy, taking into account the various possibilities.
★ Features introduced:
1, to select one or more folders within the current Finder window set uniform access password.
2, the use of Apple’s original folder actions actions, although for the veteran to crack what is not, but for the novice is scaring. ：）
3, passwords will not be directly stored within the system, safer.
4, can modify or clear the password (only the settings I can).
5, when you set the password if you forget it, password initialize reset function.
6, lock folder, click Enter when prompted for a password, file under the list mode will automatically switch to the icon does not appear, when the password is entered correctly before the switch display mode. (Because the list mode displays the least amount for a single file)
7, supports Growl, do file code open source, available for personal study reference.
8, known bug: when the parent directory when you switch to list mode passwords are invalidated, that haven’t come to think for a moment, then fixed in later versions.
