Reference by Drive Label

[jtpiekarczyk]

I've got...a few USBs and have started looking at using USB encryption. Drive letters change depending on what I've already got plugged in (I've mapped a couple key USBs but even those letters might get grabbed by another USB if the main one(s) isn't already connected) and now that I'm looking at using USB encryption which will take another drive letter, I was wondering if VV supports using the drive labels instead of the drive letters? For example, if I label a USB drive, "Work Files". I can launch a profile which will look for a drive labled "Work Files" and sync that to a drive on my system instead instead of using a drive letter which may change.

Hello,

this is a feature that will be added very shortly. Until then you may want to have Windows adding the same drive letter each time: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item42.htm

You can do this using folder variables (or variable macros) as follows:

<label:XXXXXXXX> It expands to the drive letter assigned to the drive with label XXXXXXXX. For example, <label:My-Usb-Drive>:\FolderA\ expands to S:\FolderA\ if the drive letter assigned to the drive with label 'My-Usb-Drive' is 'S'.
Please note: this variable can't be used with the tracking database or the synchronization method.



<serial:XXXXXXXX> It expands to the drive letter assigned to the drive with serial XXXXXXXX. For example, <serial:A2FF003E>:\FolderA\ expands to X:\FolderA\ if the drive letter assigned to the drive with serial number 'A2FF003E' is 'X'.
Please note: this variable can't be used with the tracking database or the synchronization method.
