Golden Key

What is Golden Key?

Golden Key locks or unlocks multiple files at once with Drag-N-Drop simplicity.

Have you ever had a group of locked files that you needed unlocked? If so, you probably had to select one, select "Get Info" from the "File Menu", uncheck the "Locked" checkbox, and then repeat the process a dozen times.

Why waste your time doing this? Golden Key allows you to pick a folder and have all of it's files locked or unlocked in a matter of seconds with only a few mouse clicks.

As an added bonus, you also get a set of Golden Key icons to match your Macintosh.

Dear Trinfinity Software,

I am a Creative Director and I receive many many CD's full of art assets from different company which to do modifications of their art into new packaging and into different languages. I prefer to have all of the original art assets loaded onto my hard drive from which to work from quickly. When doing so I always have to keep very close attention to not overwrite one of there files when working (opening, copying, modifying etc.).

In order to keep the genuine nature of those original files at all times and to guarantee that my files never get mixed up (in filing name conventions, placement into correct folders, etc.) it always helps that I can lock hundreds of the original files once they are loaded onto my hard drive.

Previous to GOLDEN KEY I would have to spend much time doing a GET INFO entire libraries of files in order to lock them invidually -- thus protecting them from an accidental write-over.

Now I can lock them all in one easy step as I go, helping to:

Assure every file does indeed get locked.
Saves much time in doing so with the application, and
Improves my day-to-day confidence in my original archives.

Thanks Trinfinity Software!!!

I just wanted to say "Thank you."

Dreamweaver uses file-locking as access control, which is fine. But when I need to use BBEdit to search and replace over an entire site the locked files become a huge problem.

I've tried AppleScript solutions, Filebuddy and other tools, but Golden Key is by far the best and most convenient for handling large numbers of locked files.

Thank you so much!
