UberManager For Mac

UberManager is an open source project designed to be an alternative for the Extensions Manager application developed by Adobe to streamline the installation of plug-ins into apps included in the Adobe Creative Suite.

Note that the Adobe Extensions Manager can be used to deploy plug-ins for Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, Photoshop, Prelude, and Premiere Pro.

Compared to the official Adobe Extension Manager app, UberManager comes with a much more simplified design and workflow. The app’s user interface resumes to a single window featuring only an install button.

Once you direct UberManager to the extensions you want to deploy (you can select only one at a time), the utility moves on with the installation process, and you get to monitor the progress in the bottom are of the main window.

UberManager is able to work with third-party plug-ins developed for Flash Professional, InDesign, Illustrator, Prelude,  Premiere Pro and Photoshop. The app simply moves the resources in the correct locations, without requiring any user interaction.

For your convenience, in the UberManager main window, you get to see a complete list of installed plug-ins, the current version for each extension, and the host Adobe application. This way you can efficiently identify the resources that are already installed.

Moreover, UberManager associates an uninstallation button with each entry, so you get to remove any of the installed extension with the same ease: the utility will simply display a confirmation message when the procedure is complete.

To sum up, UberManager is a helpful tool to have around if you need to manage third-party Adobe extensions: the utility automates both the installation and removal procedures and you get a clear view of the currently installed resources.
