Droplets

Editing droplets

Change the settings saved in an A Better Finder Attributes droplet: double-click it to open droplet edit mode, test the settings on dropped files without changing them, and click Save.

Changing the settings of a droplet is easy:

  1. double-click the droplet in the Finder
  2. the main window opens in droplet edit mode, showing the action and settings saved in the droplet
  3. make your changes in the usual way
  4. click Save to write the new settings into the droplet, or Cancel to leave it as it was

While the window is in edit mode you can drop files into the file list to test the settings: the preview shows what the droplet would do, but the files are not actually changed.

The droplet keeps its name and location. Rename it in the Finder if the new settings deserve a different name.

A droplet created with an older version of the program is best rebuilt with Migrate Droplets to Latest Version… in the File menu before editing; see creating and using droplets.
