Abstract: Architecture that provides a unified interface to access resources in different formats and in disparate resource locations for a process (e.g., consuming application). The unified interface is extensible such that users can add additional components to the unified interface to provide access to new resources and new resource references. The interface provides the capability to create a single comprehensive index of all available resources regardless of the resource format. Format-specific indexers are provided for the resources to find, enumerate, and process the resources into a structure suitable for processing by an indexing component into the index. A user can introduce new format-specific indexers for new resources and new resource references for processing by the indexing component into the index. The unified interface now provides access to the new resources and new resources references as well.

Abstract: A tool retention device is described. In implementations, a tool retention device may involve interchangeable panels that are used to retain tools. For example, an interchangeable panel has opposing first and second sides, where the first side includes tool retainers for retaining the tools. Additionally, a flexible bag component has an interior side that may removably secure the interchangeable panel. The flexible bag component also has an exterior side that may be removably secured to a user-wearable rig.

Abstract: Tool retention device techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus comprises a flexible shell configured to removably secure a power tool through flexing of the flexible shell and a portion connected to the flexible shell and configured to removably attach to an item that is wearable by a user. In one or more implementations, an apparatus comprises a component having two or more securing portions configured to removably secure a power tool by engaging a handle of the power tool, the two or more securing portions being separated by a sufficient distance such that the handle is graspable by a hand of a user and a portion connected to the component and configured to removably attach to an item that is wearable by a user.
