 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?nolink&240 |}}
+{{ :select.png?direct&230 |}}
 This is the default solution used by DropIt to manage ambiguities, but there are various ways to customize it.

+----
-''>> defining Favourite Abbreviations''\\
+===== You can "Select ambiguities checkbox by default" =====
-''>> using # and ## special rules''
+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.
