My SprintScan 4000 scanners run on MACs and use SilverFast 5.2.0r5. About 150 photography students use them in a design school.

I need a way of locking the critical CMS preferences from being accidentally changed by my students as they explore the SF software. I have tried locking some of the preference files in the SF folder, but SF crashes when I do this.

One Idea could be to separate the CMS preferences into a separate file within the SF folder so that this file can be locked without causing SF to crash? (Maybe a separate 'Options settings file'?)
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions to this problem that a software engineer could come up with.

Much thanks for your forum and listening to us users

Kind Regards

Dear Peter Miles,

Thank's for your proposal! It's very helpfull!
I send the message to our developer team.

Dear Lasersoft.

Regarding the lockable CMS settings request.

I am having problems with students resetting the CMS panel. This is a problem with subsequent users. Was the lockable CMS feature implemented?

We have SilverFaast 6.0.2r20 , 1x Polaroid SS120 and 2x Polaroid SS4000's. We run OS10.2.4
If this feature is present how do I activate I it?
