About This Particular Macintosh 6.04 - eDisk

your heart’s content, choose Save iPack… from the File menu to preserve your creation andpass it along to others. One nice touch—when you go to save your iPack, iControl alwaysbrings up a Save dialog box asking for a file name. This way, if you start by modifying anexisting set (for personal use only), you won’t accidentally overwrite the original file whenyou go to save.The last two methods involveboth iControl and IconDragger(another product fromThe Iconfactory). Personally,I think the integration ofthe two products is bothiControl’s greatest featureand its biggest weakness.IconDragger provides theone thing iControl lacks—aviewer to see what differentsets of icons contain. IniControl, you can only see asingle iPack at a time, andthat’s only after you’veapplied it to your system.Using IconDragger, you canquickly flip between iPacksbefore choosing the one youwant. This definitely beatsapplying an iPack, then applying another, and another…well, you get the point.Okay, so I basically described the fourth way to pick an iPack—click the Open Packs buttonand choose your desired iPack from the Icon Dragger application. Similarly, the fifth way isto change individual icons. Just drag an icon from IconDragger to an icon in the iControlwindow and the change is made. The icon dragged from IconDragger can come from eitheran iPack or an IconDropper Pack.I said that IconDropper integration was also iControl’s greatest weakness. IconDragger isavailable for $20 as part of the IconDropper package.
