I currently have 3 main devices that I sync with my full library -- an iPod, a Creative Muvo N2000 and my laptop. I would really, really like to be able to save all the synchronization options I use for each device so that I can just call those up.
For instance, with the Muvo, I always convert everything to WMA at 128 and sync one playlist particularly designed for this. With the iPod, I have a whole series of playlists that I sync, with no conversion, but I always want it to get the playcounts from the iPod and delete any unselected files. With the laptop, it's a different set of playlists. . .
Now, every time I put a different device on, I have to change a lot of things before I can start syncing. This is made all the more annoying because the Action Window that shows the playlists in only 3 lines high and half a line wide, so I spend lots of time scrolling around in there and it's not easy to see if I have the right playlists selected.
So, I would really like to be able to save my sync settings for each device.
Whaddya think?

That would be great, though, in fairness, MC already does a pretty good job of storing different settings for different handhelds.

Do you have MC's window maximised? I reported this as a problem a few weeks back, but I've only seen it happen when the window is too small.

How so? Am I missing something?
No, I don't have MC maximized. I hardly ever maximize any program. That's the glory of having a multi-tasking computer. I switched from DOS many years ago. . . ;)

The right click options are saved for each device, but not the playlist options that you want. I seem to remember Steve G saying that there was going to be some rationalisation of the way handheld options are defined, so maybe these are on their way.

Unfortunately, I'm a mono-tasking user ;D

This is a good feature to add. Most of it is in place for another project. I will look to add it asap.
