It is possible to write your own finder toolbar app? Any information on this. If this is possible it would be handy to write a temp storage place in the toolbar to put file and folder that you want to copy or move. Put the file in the toolbar temp storage space and then navigate to the posetion where the file are about to be moved or copied to. Drag of toolbar to move and ctrl drag to copy. I hate to have to windows open just to move a file. Its faster to do this with the terminal.

Unless someone has inside info, I doubt that anyone is going to know the answer to that until March 24.

i'm sure someone said that it's available in Cocoa as NSToolbar, but it won't have the same functionality as the Finder one. I'm sure someone could modify it to though.

Just out of curiousity, where is the documentation for NSToolBar?

I read about it in one of Apple's developer docs recently but there is no other reference or resource as far as I can tell.

Anyone have any idea how it works or where any of this documentation is?

It's in the release notes located here:

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/...es/AppKit.html

EDIT: Make sure to check out the header files for NSToolbar and NSToolbarItem, also

I've always wanted to know how this is done.

There's a program called "Goban" (It plays Go, on Versiontracker), and grepping the binary yielded a match for NSToolbar... I'll post if I can find anything of use.

/Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/AppKit.html
http://cocoadevcentral.com has an example.

If one of you gets an example running, post it up here. I think we should create a huge Cocoa example warehouse for all the cool and neat stuff. What do you think?

If you can find us something fast and reliable that we could all post source to (or even just post links to sources stored in our own Apache servers) that would be a good idea. It is always too hard to find very simple to-the-point examples when you are starting out. I am in!

I have a working NSToolbar on one of my programs:

I ripped the delegate object out of the app I made and posted it here:

http://homepage.mac.com/mr_sonicblue...arDelegate.sit

To use it, I simply call this from my main interface:

[mainToolbarDelegate initToolbar];

And the only reason I do that is to make sure I setup the toolbar before I reposition the window from preferences. You could just change the initToolbar method in the delegate to awakeFromNib and it'll work fine.
