 ====== How to manage the priority of your associations ====== ====== How to manage the priority of your associations ======
  
-''​Tutorial under development''​+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.
  
-''​>> defining Favourite Abbreviations''​\\ +{{ :​select.png?​direct&​230 |}} 
-''>>​ using # and ## special rules''​+ 
 +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.
