Groupy
Thunder-man
January 8th, 2007
Somewhere on every SVS user's list of features they'd like to see is the ability to group application layers intuitively. Thunder-man felt your collective pain and came up with "Groupy". A lightweight utility that makes grouping layers a snap.
Editor's Note: be sure to check out the GUI Thunder-man wrote to help the "text-editor challenged" among us: Setup for Groupy
Groupy gives you a way to organize each of your SVS layers in logical groups.
Setting up Groupy
- Click Setup:
- Change entries for Group ( 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: )
For example:
Name1=MySVS
Name2=Tools
[Name]
Name1=Internet
Name2=Graphic
Name3=Tools
Name4=Blank
Name5=Blank
We have 5 groups [Group_1] to [Group_5]
Change Layer Name: 1 to 10
For example:
[Group_1]
1=Firefox 1.5
2=xp-AntiSpy
3=FoxitReader
4=
5=
6=
7=
8=
9=
10=
Using the Helper (Select, copy and Paste Layer Name)
Using Groupy:
- To activate a group: Click a group (e.g. 1:)
- To deactivate group: Click the same group again and then click "deactivate" in the popup.(e.g. 1:)

Thanks for the tool
This tool will definitely come in handy. Are there any limitations to the amount of apps it can handle? Thanks.
Groupy limitations.
I did not test that.
But we can extend groupy.ini
For example:
[Group_1]
...
...
...
11=
12=
13=
14=
15=
Leave No entry free.
Not
1=Firefox
2=
3=Thunderbird
4=FoxitReader

Don't Forget Trinket is Open Source!
This is great. But when I see cool contributions like this, my first thought is always, "gee, it sure would be nice if this were part of the Trinket project... !"
Thanks for the quick answer
I have it up to 10 apps and have experienced no problems so far. I really need to convince folks around here to start consolidating some of our applications...ugh. Thanks again, great tool.

Trinket is Open Source!
Trinket is written in Programming Language C++
I write "Groupy" in Autoit.

SVS Admin starts automatically
Groupy is a great tool.
If I activate a group of layers with groupy, always the SVS Admin Tools starts.
It is a little bit annoying :-)
Always the SVS Admin Tools starts
Groupy is in such a way written.
If we activate a group, starts SVS.
The entries from the Groupy.ini are read.
And in Altiris SVS ListView searched. (marked).
Then I send "CTRL + T"
Therefore must the SVS Admin Tools start.

Why not using command line version SVSCMD?
Hi Thunder-man,
Is there a reason why you used the GUI and not the command line version SVSCMD? Since you use AutoIt, it should be easy to execute the SVSCMD. You should also be able to get the GUID from the registry for the layers.
Or are there any limitations that I do not understand?
Thanks & Ciao

Why not using command line version SVSCMD?
First I write Code for the "WonderBar"
Hence, I did not need this.
Maybe I change this with one updates
