After a long and hard work the new version is finally out.
You will find a lot of new features on the executor modifiers.
Now they are always visible and we have two new:
- the action modifier to execute an item as administrator (with elevated privileges);
- the action modifier to configure an item: select the option, click on a SyItem and the configuration form will show up highlighting that item.
Moreover now you have a clear way to understand when SyMenu itself is running ad admin.
The last news regards the availability of the first file flag. The READONLY file. If you create this kind of empty file on the root of SyMenu folder, SyMenu will run in read only mode.
That's all.
Have fun!

Very timely for my needs. I just checked today to see if there was a new version with READONLY, as tomorrow, I'll have 4 people working in the same Dropbox folder... now with the READONLY feature. The alternative was going to be to clone 4 copies of SyMenu in the Dropbox folder, one for each user... This is much better! Thanks!

And I've been sharing the use of a READONLY menu among 3-4 simultaneous computers for 17 days now, and it has been working great, with no conflict or corruption that I have been able to determine. This has been a great enhancement to the shared Dropbox folder collaboration that I have been experimenting with... just what I needed to make it much easier for the less computer-literate users. Thanks for sneaking that in to this release and this timeframe.

You're welcome.
If you observe some strange behaviours please report to me immediately and if you have any other ideas to improve your collaborative experiment with SyMenu let me know the same.
