Customize EFB Per Airline??

I see where one can easily add/change files that show up in the EFB, and even per aircraft type (a separate set of files could be populated for each unique aircraft folder you create), but is there a way to split out the configuration file for each aircraft (rather than the main one used now) so that one could have a different set of EFB buttons/screens for each one? 

For example, for a UAL aircraft (assuming I create a separate Aircraft folder for it) I could have a KIAH, KORD, KEWR, etc vs an AAL version (setup in its own folder too) where I would have KDFW, KMIA, KORD, etc...

Anyone know how this can be done or should this ability just be a request in future update?? Wink

I thought of one way as a workaround:

1. Save each livery as a separate folder, thereby creating a unique EFB batch of folders/files for each (example: Save a UAL version, an AAL version, etc).

2. Name the tags/folders for the generic EFB configuration (the buttons) something generic, like: Base Airport, Base Departures, Base Arrivals, Base Approaches, System Airports, Destination Airports, etc, etc.

3. Decide upon ONE base for each airline (I would choose KIAH for UAL, KDFW for AAL, etc).

4. Place all the charts, etc for the base airport you chose in the ...EFB/Base Airport, Base Departures, etc of the aircraft you are setting up.

5. Place airport diagrams for all other hubs for that airline in the ...EFB/System Airports folder for that aircraft.

6. Fill in destinations and other charts/folders as you choose.

This way, you could have a unique set of docs for each airline flown.  HOWEVER, you have to use generic names still for the folders/buttons, and I'd rather create unique ones for each aircraft if possible. 

Haven't tested this, but I think it should work unless the aircraft folder name cannot be changed without messing something up.  Undecided

The best idea I can come up with to make that somewhat possible ,would be to create different EFB folder for each airline or aircraft,and just name them EFB and rename the original EFB.1 or something so you can use the one EFB with the charts,etc. you want to use! That's the best I can come up with!
