The Goal
rooSwitch exists to make it easy for you to create different profiles of almost any application's data. You then switch amongst the profiles to activate the data you wish to use. It's like a multi-user environment for just one application.
What For?
rooSwitch can be applied in many different ways, for many different purposes. Here are three common scenarios:
Developers
Constantly shuffling data files around as you test different situations (new user, user with lots of records, etc)? rooSwitch takes care of that shuffling for you. I wrote rooSwitch for this exact purpose. I got tired of moving files around in Application Support and Preferences.
Testers
Using beta quality software and concerned about your real data? rooSwitch makes it easy for you to create a backup of all your preferences and data files associated with your favorite application.
Users
rooSwitch makes it easy to keep your favorite apps data safe and also makes it easy to manage profiles for different situations. A good example of this is are "at home" and "at work" profiles. See the rooSwitch for users screencast to see this in action.
