Can you send me a bug report from the AL menu? Are there any other strange behaviors that AL is exhibiting? Thanks for the report.

it's a very possible feature that I have been considering, but I've hesitated because there are literally thousands of applications individuals might wish to control. Many users who'd enjoy changing options via plist/restart wouldn't know how accomplish the same via shell scripts or applescript. 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!

I have an alpha version of @awado's suggested feature available for any alpha tester who emails me: airportlocation at gmail dot com. 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.

Sorry to ask but why does this exist? 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).
