Password for Launchbar Commander Preferences / Options

[kimbriki]

Hi,
Is there any way to incorporate a password prompt before the "Configure Preference and Options" right click menu option can be accessed.....to stop an arbitary user from fiddling with settings.

Thanks

As a short-term alternative, you could set the ini file to read-only... though that would probably result in errormessages when someone tries to change settings

Thanks, I'll give that a try, but it would be nice to have a password option in the menu.

Yeah, it's not something I'm planning on adding to my apps.
However, another option you could use would be a custom script to monitor and automatically close certain window dialogs that are shown -- so if the current user every tried to open the options dialog it would be immediately closed.
That could be a coding snack that someone could write.

Anyone interested in attempting a code snack on this topic?

You could probably post a request in the coding snacks area, and see if anyone bites.  They might not see it here.

Well, I thought about it and decided to a) leave some room for mouser to come up with a solution as suggested by the OP (though that may take a little time) and b) it should be handled at the root of the 'problem', not trying to 'solve' it by symptom suppression.

Mouser has said that he's not going to add it to his apps, so I don't think that there is anything wrong with taking it.

Thanks guys, it was a long shot, but I guess it's not a favourable request....keep up the good work anyways!
