Hotkey profile switch / Load ".dxp" file on double-click

Postby Rexkix » 09.09.2011 18:50:21

I use both Depot and Ultramon and love both to death. I recommend them to everybody I meet, but you most of all.

With Ultramon, I use a pair of hotkeys, one to select my PC monitors and one to select my TV. Unfortunately, because my screen sizes are different, my desktop icons move. I've also got two Dexpot profiles that move the icons to the right places, but I can't hotkey that choice and it's hard to mouse the change from across the room.

It would be great if Dexpot supported hotkeys for profile changes. It would be even better if Dexpot automatically loaded ".dxp" files, just as Ultramon does with its ".umprofile" files. Then, the pair of profiles could be run from a single script which itself could be given a hotkey.

That's working great, thanks. I've got scripts that load both my Dexpot and Ultramon profiles together and made hotkeys for those scripts. Wonderful!

Today I was poking around and was surprised to see that load profile was not listed in the FAQ entry on Dexpot command line parameters (http://dexpot.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1914). It'd be no better or worse, just different. It could make scripting look more logical.

Thanks again!
