rooSwitch looks like it has a lot of potential. Just to answer the “What if rooSwitch can sense when you are in different locations” question, I use an awesome app, Plazes (http://beta.plazes.com/) that, I think, falls into the geo-location/ location awareness genre. Basically, it recognizes know wi-fi spots, and “logs you in.”

From their site: “automatically detects your location and connects you to people and places nearby. See people in your area, discover other locations and follow the whereabouts of your friends.”

Don’t know if that helps. I have absolutely no connection to the folks at Plazes; I just am a fan.

Best of luck!

First, thanks Chanpory, for giving rooSwitch such a thorough look. I appreciate the criticism and ideas given. However, a few quick responses:

1) “Renaming a profile requires a double-click” The “enter” and “return” keys are mapped to “rename”. There’s also a “rename” menu item, but I prefer the “enter” and “return” keys.

2) “What if you can group profiles together to allow simultaneous switching?” This is something I want to address in the future. “Collections”. Anyway, the AppleScript and Automator support added in 1.1 allow for just this (of course, with a little work). The “whats new in 1.1″ screencast highlights this, see: http://roobasoft.com/rooSwitch/view_movie.php?movie=whatsNew.mov

3) “What if rooSwitch can sense when you are in different locations” Would be cool. Does anyone know of any other apps that do this already and allow programs to be launched? If so, an AppleScript could be written to make this happen.

Those are just the ones I wanted to give a public response to. I do appreciate all the comments/critiques and have taken note.

Thanks again, BrianC

The profile idea sounds like wonderful extension of its abilities. Easier than setting up different identities on a laptop or even a pc. As for sensing location that would be funky too but I would settle for the ability to swith rapidly through profiles.
