New Plug-ins on the Block

Posted by Mihai Ionescu, Software Engineer

Our developers have been coming up with some innovative ideas to use the Sidebar to simplify familiar tasks. Below are some new plug-ins we found very useful:

• Task Tracker by Matthew Cowgur - Track time spent for tasks that you are working on.


• NetStat by Catalin Patulea - Monitor your computer's network connections in real time.


• QuickLaunch by Benjamin Schirmer - Get quick and easy access to your files and folders (updated version).


• IeCalendar by Peter Sitterly - Stay up-to-date with information stored in your online IeCalendar account.


• PrintButler by Jon Speiser - Display installed printers and easily change the default printer.


• gdShutdown by Yannick Stucki - Easily control your computer sign-off options.

The developers of these plug-ins are welcoming any feedback or improvement suggestions. Good places to discuss the plug-in are the Google Desktop Developer group or the individual plug-in groups.
