Extension Manager is designed to install, remove or copy QuicKeys 2 extensions. You can also use Extension Manager to turn installed extensions on or off.
Double-clicking on the Extension Manager icon will display the Extension Manager dialog box.
The New Extensions list displays extensions that are in the same folder as Extension Manager and are not installed in QuicKeys 2.
The Current Extensions list displays extensions that are currently installed in QuicKeys 2. The amount of DISK SPACE the listed or selected extensions use is displayed above the lists. (This is not an indication of how much RAM an extension will require when it is installed.)

Managing Extensions
Extension Manager also lets you copy, delete or turn installed extensions on and off.
To COPY extensions:
1) Select the extension(s) you want to copy.
2) Click the “Copy” button.
3) Select the drive and folder to which you want to copy the selected extensions. (If you wish, you can rename the extension by typing a different name in the Save extension as: field.)
4) Click the “Save” button to begin copying.
To DELETE extensions:
1) Select the extension(s) you want to delete.
2) Click the “Delete” button. Extension Manager will ask if you are sure you want to delete the selected extensions.
3) Click “Delete.”
To TURN EXTENSIONS ON and OFF:
Turning an extension off will leave the extension installed in the QuicKeys 2 folder, but QuicKeys 2 will not load the extension at startup, thus saving space in RAM.
1) Select the extension(s) that you want to turn off or on.
2) Click the “Turn off” (or “Turn on”) button.
Extensions that are “off” are listed with dimmed text. Extensions that are “on” are listed with black text.
When you are finished using Extension Manager, click the “Done” button to quit. You must restart your Macintosh before any changes will take effect.
