The Install Dashboard Widget command installs a fresh, updated copy of the Fetch widget.

The Fetch widget provides easy drag-and-drop uploading of items to a specific server and displays the progress of the transfer.

Normally you are asked if you want to install the Fetch widget the first time you open Fetch. If you have already installed the Fetch widget, the widget is updated to the latest version automatically when you open Fetch.

Use the Install Dashboard Widget command if you declined installation of the Fetch widget when you first ran Fetch, or to install a new copy of the Fetch widget if the widget seems to be broken or misbehaving.

When you choose Install Dashboard Widget, if a copy of the Fetch widget it not already open, Fetch will display Dashboard and a new copy of the Fetch widget. Otherwise, Fetch will just display a dialog confirming that the installation was successful.

The Install Dashboard Widget command, the Fetch widget, and Dashboard are available only on Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

For more information, see the Fetch widget topic.
