Airport Location... Wouldn't it be great to have 10-15 computers? One setup perfectly for home leisure use, one setup perfectly for work, one setup perfectly for coffee shops…

To exactly duplicate AL's behavior before 0.60200, enable "Distinct Wifi Connections" under the "Enable Wi-Fi Detection" menu in the "Detection Settings" menu.
If that does not solve the issue, please shoot me an email at airportlocation@gmail.com
Thanks for the report.

The only thing i miss is a way to switch settings of third party applications, especially firewall/security software. Just to switch the corresponding plist files and a relaunch of the applications would be enough. Maybe this could be a simple way to integrate almost any application?

In short, I've been trying to find a quick and simple way to add more customized functionality without requiring sophisticated end-user programming knowledge.
Until I come up with a solution (perhaps a plugin API?), we can do two things:
(1) Write an applescript to quit / change plist / restart for your individual snapshots. Similar to this:
tell application "myApp" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.companyname.myApp thePreference 1"
tell application "myApp" to run
(2) On the other hand, you can shoot me an email with the particular application that you'd like to control and I'll make a judgement call as to whether it is viable to include support in AL itself.
Thanks for the input!

Essentially, I've added an "App Preferences" action for snapshots which records every application preference for a particular application's preference file. Not all applications store their preferences in the same way, but this should work for most applications.
It is a highly interesting feature that I'll need to test further before a release. Alpha testers welcome.

I use OS X’s built in location and it stores network setting for both cable and wireless connections quite happily.
I have some 60 locations defined (one per client).

AirPort Location can toggle more than 50 OS settings automatically. When you open your laptop at Work, AL adjusts your setting automatically to suit your work environment. When you open your laptop at home, different settings can be applied.
AirPort Location picks up where OSX Locations (and other software) leaves off and automates the settings adjustment process. Visit the website or email me at airportlocation@gmail.com for more information or for answers to more specific questions.

It did take me a while to figure out how to make use of its full potential, though.

Great job on fixing the bug that was turning on discrete graphics cards! (To the developer: If you think this bugfix is somewhat general and not just something specific to AirPort Location, maybe you should share your solution so that the numerous other developers whose apps switch on the discrete graphics card for the smallest Core Animation call can fix this too. :)

This update will address the bug that I found, although without more information I cannot say for certain that this will address your troubles. I'd very much appreciate the opportunity to troubleshoot your problem over email or IM - airportlocation at gmail for both.

I tested this version for four days before release and did not notice any slowdowns. I also did not change the existing detection algorithms or menu display, but with adding new features, there is always a small risk that bugs will occur.
Thanks for the report.

Thanks for reporting, I'm not sure that I would have found this without your report!

Was very interested in managing my airport locations and did a quick download, but all I get is the spinning ball of death each time I I click on the menubar icon ...

It would also be helpful if you could open the Console (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app), search for "airportlocation" and copy all the entries to the email.
I'm available at airportlocation at gmail dot com.
