<h1>Tracker Add-Ons</h1>
<p>Applications can install add-ons so they can be invoked easily on a selection of files from Tracker. Only the add-ons that can handle a specific filetype are presented under <span class="menu">Add-Ons</span> from the context menu or the <span class="menu">File</span> menu of a Tracker window. Some add-ons don't necessarily need a file to work on and are thus always present.</p>
<p>New Tracker add-ons that don't come as part of a regular .hpkg package, can be installed by copying them into their respective non-packaged folder (see topic <a href="filesystem-layout.html">Filesystem layout</a>):</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td><span class="path">/boot/system/non-packaged/add-ons/Tracker/</span></td><td>   </td><td> for add-ons available to every user.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="path">/boot/home/config/non-packaged/add-ons/Tracker/</span></td><td>   </td><td> for add-ons only available to yourself.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>The file name of an add-on can be suffixed with a dash and capital letter, and is then available via keyboard shortcut. For example, <span class="app">Open Target Folder-O</span> opens with <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">OPT</span> <span class="key">O</span>.<br />
Of course, you have to take care of possible shortcut collisions when deciding on a shortcut. You can't have the same for different add-ons.</p>
