feature suggestion about easy zone switch
« on: October 08, 2006, 12:40:53 pm »

I currently use MC11 with 3 different zones, and I switch between the zones frequently, but every time I need to do deep into menu to do that. I will be great if I can customize the status bar to have a button for each zone, or it's also very cool to have tagged browsing for zones as some web browsers do.

You can use Ctrl-T to cycle through all the zones.  Not what you want, but it may be faster than the menus...

You could us MC's automation commands (and either BAT files or WSH scripts) to make your own Windows Toolbar to switch directly to the different Zones, and then park the Toolbar down by the QuickLaunch bar (or even put it in there if you want).

It wouldn't be that hard to do... Do a search or two on using Windows Messages and MC11.exe /MCC along with checking here: http://www.jrmediacenter.com/devzone.html

You'll probably figure out how to do what you need, but if you have any questions, just ask.
