LoginControl 2.0

26.11.2008

A minor limitation of LoginControl is that there's no way to rename a list; the workaround is to use the File: Duplicate List command, name the new list using your preferred name, and then delete the original. And, of course, you can't choose your list of login items at login; you have to make the choice for your next login before logging out of your current session. (To be fair, I don't know of a way for the developer to offer such a feature without some major low-level hacking of the OS.)

If you have a need to frequently switch between several lists of login items, LoginControl isn't as hassle-free as it could be. Then again, even with these limitations it's much less of a hassle than not using LoginControl at all. It's a nifty utility that offers features I'd like to see Apple include in Mac OS X itself.
