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?

Thanks everyone!
