====== How to manage the priority of your associations ======

DropIt allows to create an unlimited number of associations for your files and folders. It means that sometimes, when you drag&drop them on the floating icon, they could match with more than one association and DropIt asks you to decide //"how to process them"// selecting an action.

{{ :select.png?direct&230 |}}

This is the default solution used by DropIt to manage ambiguities, but there are various ways to customize it.

===== You can "Select ambiguities checkbox by default" =====

From DropIt Options you can enable this setting to have the checkbox of "Select Action" window selected by default.

{{ :select2.png?direct&230 |}}

This is a minor advantage, but allows to reduce to //only one click// the procedure of selection for all the ambiguities of a process.

===== You can define some "Favourite Associations" =====

When you are editing an association, you can make it a Favourite Association selecting the //"gray star"// next to the ''Name'' field (it will become a //"yellow star"//). Now this association will have the priority over the other normal associations and will be automatically used in case of more matches.

{{ :favourite.png?direct&300 |}}

Obviously, in case of ambiguity between more favourite associations, DropIt will ask you to select the action to perform.

===== You can use # and ## special rules =====

Another solution to manage association priority is to define some associations with ''#'' (for files) and ''##'' (for folders) special rules.

{{ :specialrule.png?direct&300 |}}

These associations will be performed on files and folders that //do not have other matches//, while will be ignored on files and folders that already match with other associations.
