It is easy. I did it for myself. Create Macro command to disable all apps. Copy and paste it 5 times. You have 6 macros. Modyfi them to switch on selected app. Then applay multi-state to them. It requred 15 min your work but not 1 day coding, testing, geting more memory for unnecesary task in Girder core.

Is there a way to Enable/Disable multiple groups in one action?
The situation is,My config have 6 groups:Misc, MouseControl, Soft_Winamp, Soft_PowerDVD, Soft_BSplay and Soft_System.As U can see,the last 4 are for Individual Apps.And I use one button on my remote to switch through them,the procedure is somehow like this:
MultiGroup switch()
__case 1:
____disable Soft_PowerDVD
____disable Soft_BSplay
____disable Soft_System
____enable Soft_Winamp
____question "Winamp Mode"
__case 2,3,4............
This make the MultiGroup long&hard to edit,I think a better way to do this is a action that can disable Soft_*
Any idea? or had I missed something?

Thanks a lot especially for keeping it COOL&FREE!

Thanks bodziak............but....... what is a Macro?.........I'm a newbie here....
I've searched the maillist,still dont know???However,I guess U mean this?


|
+-Group_Control <--The Group
|
+-Disable_All <--A MultiGroup assigned to "Mode" button
| +--Disable Soft_Winamp
| +--Disable Soft_PowerDVD
| +--Disable Soft_BSplay
| +--Disable Soft_System
|
+-Switch_Groups <--Another MultiGroup assigned to "Mode" button
+--Enable Soft_Winamp __MultiState Case 1
+--Question "Winamp Mode" /
+--Enable Soft_PowerDVD __MultiState Case 2
+--Question "PowerDVD Mode" /
+--............


This config works.And the number of commands needed is 3*Groups not Groups*(Groups+1),better now.
To say about coding a wildcard support,I found that Girder internally uses Identifier number not Name,Thus a simple patch would be impossible.Never realized this before,I must say sorry to U,RonB

Thanks a lot for Ur Help!
