It should work fine. If it doesn't then I suspect you have a corrupt MP preferences file.

Shure if controlplane is suitable for the 10.7.2 beta of lion?? ;)

Hey Folks,

Just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 Beta for using icloud and other nice
features but marco polo doesnt work.
When starting mp it just quit directly. Of Course the beta status of
10.7.2 is the matter why mp doesnt work but is there any plan in
upgrading mp for the beta status? Or do you wait for official release
of the "new" OS X Lion ;)
I'm using MP 2.5.1 with working wifi evidences.

Thanks

here is a walk through that explains how to use the tmutil command and

Great to hear.

Here is one more vote in favor of that feature.   It is the key one I am looking for.

I've gotten a number of requests for time machine related actions and I do plan on implementing them in the future. Right now I'm concentrating on fixing old functionality that has stopped working because of os changes. 

1.0.3 should restore all of the old functionality of MarcoPolo including the Bluetooth evidence source. I made fairly significant changes to that bit of code and it seems to be stable, at least under Lion. 1.0.3 should be ready soon, I'm still learning how to handle localization which is holding it back. 

As for the name, it isn't something I'm going to change back now. As I mentioned in a previous email to the list, ControlPlane refers to a location technique used in locating cell phone users. As someone who works in the wireless industry the name is just as fitting as MarcoPolo. 

I changed the name because I wanted it to be clear that ControlPlane is a fork and not an official continuation of the official project. I also didn't feel it was right to take the project and claim it was "min

Dustin Rue — 2011-08-20T12:09:35

If you read the about page on the ControlPlane site you'll see why I called it ControlPlane. I work in the wireless industry so for me the name actually makes just as much sense.

Dustin,

While I liked the MarcoPolo name I must say I like the name ControlPlane as it controls the "AirPort" - 

however, in Lion the "AirPort" has been named Wifi so the pun no longer really exists..

Dustin --

Thanks for your work to update MarcoPolo.  Much appreciated!
I like (in theory; not enough practise yet) the nested contexts.

Three suggestions:
1) Displaying the name of a nested contexts can take a lot of 
   space in the status bar.  How 'bout an option to just display
   the leaf of the tree?

2) One of my major uses of MarcoPolo was to switch time machine 
   disks when I moved between home and work.  See 
   http://groups.google.com/group/marcopolo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/f59cf25fe5206cbc/978aaa9152f6e095?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=time+machine#978aaa9152f6e095
   for the basic approach.  I think this would be an uber-cool
   action to have built-in.

   Unfortunately, when upgrading to Lion, I'm running into
   permissions problems.  I've either forgotten what I did on Snow
   Leopard or the permissions on /Library/Preferences and contents
   have changed.  Briefly, ControlPane triggers a script that 
   removes a link in /Library/Preferences and then creates another
   link.  But it doesn't hav

I will be launching 1.0.3 very soon, just trying to get a bit of localization done. 

1.0.3 will bring back the Bluetooth evidence source, among other things.

Turned out that the login items prefs file was corrupt. CP appears to be
working fine.

Works fine for me - Lion - MBP 2011.

Tried that also. CP didn't launch and it was missing from the Login items
list.

The proper way would be through system preferences. Go into users, find you user and click login items. Click the plus and browse to find ControlPlane to add it

Many thanks. Just FYI, I had tried creating an alias for the app, sticking
it in the dock and selecting "open at login" from the pop-up options. But it
didn't work (option was unchecked at next startup).

Good point, expect a preference option in 1.0.3

Dustin-

I've been running ControlPlane for the last few days and it appears to be
working fine, except that it doesn't automatically launch on startup. I
couldn't find anything in Preferences. All I did to install it was download
and stick the app in the Applications folder. Is there something else I
should be doing? Thanks.

Cool! Best of luck to you. I'm looking forward to seeing where you can
take this.

(I'd point out that the stagnation was due to a lack of time rather
than a lack of interest, though).
