Are you currently maintaining the single .pcf that gets replicated in all locations (desktop, laptop, usb drive, work computer config etc)? I have been till now a unique config per desktop, usb, laptop etc but I'm considering making it a all-in-one .pcf (starting to have enough devices that I move back-and-forth from). Interested in comments from those that have been-there-done-that...I've seen occational notes from the past about people doing this :) A couple items that are hang-ups/problems that I can see are from just a quick look are: - Hotkeys (don't want to have to prefix each hotkey with a eg. if (laptopvar) then run command else not). How to control to have them enabled in 2 situations, but not the 3rd. Don't want to get into a nightmare situation for testing multiple conditions for each hotkey on triggering. - Keyboard macros unique depending on the system. - Media items - background, screensavers etc (I think these are read from registry by powerpro at start, and not stored with .pcf so this might be a non-issue) - Timers - some auto-start with some configs, not with others. Yes, can make a single powerpro startup smart script that turns on the timers you want...which might be the best idea. - Controlling GUI controls that are one thing with one device, and another for another device (eg laptop and numlock shouldn't be locked on - of course numlock lock doesn't work with XP ;P) - Context menu's...I guess once you install on a system, it's enabled for that system. Not installed in the registry, then it doesn't cause a problem. - different Keytrap setups (this may be controllable with a global startup script that renames plugin.ini files as-suitable) - Startup items unique to the system...again probably a smart startup script could control this, running commandlists as-appropriate per config. ....any other items that I haven't thought of?
