Serialize different presets

[studert]

I see in your code that you support deserialization of named presets through a query string parameter (in the sync tool), but the serialization part on the events only seems to consider the default preset. Am I missing something? Thank you very much for your answer, there will be follow up questions ;)

You are not missing anything; the currently released version of Unicorn does not provide any way to hook the event handlers to a non-default preset.

However, if you take a peep at Unicorn 2 (presently alpha-quality) it's resolved there:

In Unicorn 2 you install a data provider instead of event handlers (this gets around EventDisablers). The core data provider has a constructor that takes a params array of UnicornDataProvider:

The UnicornDataProvider is a unit of serialization - e.g. one preset. So you can hitch 1...n presets into a single UnicornSqlServerDataProvider instance. And by 'presets' I mean IPredicate implementations, where SerializationPresetPredicate is merely one of the possible implementations that can be dreamed up :)

Thank you very much for your answer. I am in the process of writing a module for Sitecore and I am trying out how Unicorn can support me in the process. What I would like to do is having multiple presets serializing to different folders. This way I could specify a preset only defining the items relevant to the module and writing them to a seperate folder. From there, the build server could pick them up and automatically pack them into a Sitecore NuGet Package.

So far, it's just an idea. But I'm really looking forward to see what's coming with Unicorn 2 :)
