Enable or disable extensions within OS X Yosemite

As the name suggests, extensions in OS X have been used to expand customization possibilities within the operating system both visually and productively.

In fact, they are already old acquaintances of the most experienced Mac users and now they return again with more options and in general with more possibilities. If you recently made the leap to OS X but nevertheless you are an iOS user In its latest version of the system (iOS 8) the extensions will surely ring more in the notification curtain.

In this case and fortunately, this type of extensions They have little or nothing to do with those used by Mac administrators in the 90s. Thanks to the "technique" of sandboxing and the different architectures that have been given in OS X now the management of these extensions is much easier.

You just have to open the system preferences, go to the Extensions section and check all the ones we have available. From here if we are interested in some kind of specific extension We can click both on the search menu, and on sharing, today, actions or all. This last option is more convenient if we have a type of application with more than one extension that carries out different tasks.

• Actions: It is the menu where you will find all those related to the visualization and editing of content
• Finder: Those that serve to improve the functionality of the Finder
• Share: Obviously those that are responsible for sharing content from different specific applications
• Today: In the notification center to add different extensions with many different functionalities

Basically from the menu we can only check installed extensions and decide whether to activate them or on the contrary not to use them.
