Selecting Drives and Applying Gauges
The selection checkbox, the
leftmost column in the Drive List (by default) and highlighted
in the figure below with the green arrows, controls the following
options:
-
Whether or not a drive's gauge is updated automatically (if automatic
updating is enabled)
-
Whether or not a drive's backup icon is restored when the Restore
button is clicked
-
Whether or not a drive's gauge is applied when the Apply button
is clicked
-
Whether or not a drive's options are able to be changed
-
Whether or not a drive is included in the Growl notifications
Checked indicates that a the drive should be used and unchecked means
it will be ignored.
These selections are automatically saved when DriveGauge quits along
with all the other settings (such as those found in the Options
Drawer, which are saved on a per-drive basis.)
To apply a gauge to a drive's icon use the following
steps:
1. Authenticate to be allowed to change any settings
2.
Check the selection next to its name (a checkmark indicates it
will be used.)
3. Choose its appropriate icon type from the popup menu (these include: hard
drive, fire wire drive, iPod, iDisk, current icon, backup icon, or a custom
icon [.icns only])
4. Change any options as desired in the Options Drawer
5. Click Apply, as highlighted by the blue arrow in the
figure
6. Relaunch the Finder if necessary
Tip: In Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" clicking
on a drive's icon in the Finder (on the Dekstop) will
typically refresh it so relaunching isn't normally necessary. |
