Who would like to see this capability in DOPus?
I regularly use DOpus in several different scenarios.
It would be really useful to be able to have several entirely different configs, with different setups of tabs, functions, folder options etc, and ideally, have a menu to switch configs, or allocate a button, or link these to different startup Icons, so that you can run completely different configs in different instances of DOpus.
I would then have specific DOpus Instances for Specific Jobs
I have in mind the following
File Management DOpus
Tabs:- Explorer, Dual Vertical; File Manager
Display all by details
Context Toolbar customised
Focus on managing files on fileservers & locally, copying deleting, finding classifying, synchronising directories etc
Video & Picture Manger DOpus
Tabs:- Explorer, ThumbSorter(Tree+2Pane-Thumbnails); Images, FilmStrip
Display: Thumbs and/or Auto detect
Context Toolbar Customised to toggle Image details, EXif data, Sort by image dims etcetc
Focus on Sorting, classifying images and video Clips, finding & removing duplicates etc.
Audio Manager DOpus
Tabs:- Explorer, Sound Sorter(Tree+2Pane-PowerMode)
Folder Options display Tag info -Colums for Sound related info
Optimise for finding and clsassifying, and creating collections
And so forth, I hope you get the idea of where I am going with this.
I find that with the depth of options available in DOpus, it takes considerable time and effort to get a config tuned and tweeked for these tasks, and it is a pity that there is no simple method for saving each config.
I was disappointed to discover that saving the "Lister Layout" did not achieve this, and as far as I can see the closest approach is backup and restore a whole config, each time you want to change Task, which frankly is too much effort.
When I first started evaluating and using DOpus I kind of assumed that given everything it is capable of, and the complexity of it's configs, that it would have this feature.
As I said, I was a bit disappointed to find that it doesn't
Let's vote for saving custom configs
