## On Cue II

> On Cue II is a file and application management software package that
> can perform many Finder tasks.
>
> The On Cue II extension is at the root of On Cue II. It puts an On
> Cue menu icon in the right or left side of your menu bar (see figure
> 4.7).
>
> You configure On Cue by adding applications and documents you want
> to launch quickly. Create multisets of applications or documents you
> use together?select the multiset from On Cue's menu to open all
> items at once. Create On Cue folders to make hierarchical menus. You
> can also use the On Cue menu to switch from one open application to
> another and access On Cue modules like KeyLauncher, MatchMaker,
> Quitter, Restart, and Shut Down. These modules let you launch
> applications not included in On Cue's menu, match file types and
> creators to specific applications, quit open applications, and
> restart or shut down your Macintosh. And if travelling to the menu
> bar is too far, hold down the Control key and press your mouse
> button to have the On Cue menu appear at your mouse pointer. On Cue
> also offers configurable key combinations to switch between open
> applications and access On Cue's modules.

> comes in (see figure 4.8). On Disk is a DA that works with the On
> Cue II extension to change the way Open, Save, and Save As dialog
> boxes work. Rather than make the kinds of simple changes made by
> [other utilities], On Disk goes a step further by providing the
> following Finder commands: Comments, Delete, Duplicate, Find, Get
> Info, Get Path, Make Alias, Move, and New Folder. The Find command
> enables you to find files based on name, type, creator, date, and
> size on any or all disks. On Disk also remembers recently opened
> files and folders and enable you to add commonly access files and
> folders to its menus.

> all applications and documents based on type or creator. Use its
> pull-down menu to select the kind of file you want to find. You can
> edit this menu to add the kinds of files you find most often and
> remove the kind you don't look for often. Then you can launch a file
> by double-clicking its name in the scrolling window of files that
> appears almost instantaneously. This is a great way to find all the
> files created by a specific application?and view them all at once.
