Do you have a number of CDEV and are you sick of opening the Control Panel
and searching for the right CDEV? Are you a semi-power user equipped with
Choose CDEV* so at least one CDEV comes up immediately? Do you want to be
able to have any CDEV available immediately without frantic searching? Then
listen.
You need: Control Panel and CDEVs, Choose CDEV*, Font/DA Mover, Font/DA
Utilitiy* (or ResEdit) and preferably but not necessarily SuitCase* (or
something equivalent).
Step 1. Use Font/DA Mover to make a suitcase with the control panel in it.
Step 2. Make a lots of copies of it.
Step 3. Use Font/DA Utilitiy* (or ResEdit) to rename the control panel in
each of the suitcases (e.g. Pyro Panel, General Panel and so forth). (I
named them Pyro Panel, General Panel etc. so they would remain next to each
other in the alphabetical order.)
Step 4. Use Font/DA Mover to combine them into one suitcase called, say,
myPanels.
Step 5. Use SuitCase* to mount myPanel.
Step 6. Use Choose CDEV* to customize ech of your very personal panels.
Needless to say, that not all steps above are necessary. I just wanted to
make it very clear what's happening.
Summary: use several copies of the Contol Panel each customized with Choose
CDEV*.
If you like this idea please drop me a note and then I wil keep thinking of
newer and better ways to enjoy life with a Mac.
