Lockable CMS settings [for multi-user environmnet]
PostPosted: Tue Oct 21, 2003 3:56 am
Hi Silverfast team.
My SprintScan 120 scanner runs on MACs and use SilverFast 6.1.04. About 150 photography students use it for medium format film scanning in our college.
I need a way of locking the critical CMS preferences [such as destination color space] 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
Peter
