Can I change a pack after adding it?

Yes. Once a pack's controls are on a deck they are ordinary controls — rename, re-icon, move or delete any of them.

No. Packs are part of Treadle; there's nothing extra to buy for them.

Use an action pack

An action pack is a ready-made set of controls for a common task. Open the Packs browser in the Mac editor, pick a pack, and it adds its controls to a deck in one step — so you get a working panel without building every button by hand.

Add a pack

On the Mac, open the menu-bar popover and choose Edit decks….
Open the Packs browser.
Pick a pack and add it to a deck.

The pack's controls are copied onto the deck as fresh copies. You can edit them like any control you added yourself: change a label, change an icon, or swap the action. Editing a copy does not change the pack.

After you add one

Rename or re-order the controls to suit how you work.
Give a control a value with toggles, levels and prompts.
Tie the deck to the app the pack is for with an app binding.

If a pack control does nothing

A pack control runs the same kinds of actions you could add by hand, so the same causes apply: a missing permission, or an app that is not installed. See A button does nothing when I press it and permissions.

Packs are built in and free to use. Fitting their controls across more than one deck is a paid feature, since multiple decks are paid. See What's free, what's paid.
