Disable Search in Filesystem

Post by Arne »

I would like to prevent the user from opening any documents other than the one I specified on starting the application. I managed to disable all options, which open documents, but one: This one option is the search for contents of pdf documents in the filesystem. If I search a text and it is found in another document, I'm still able to open the document.

Is there a way to prevent the user from opening any documents at all?

Hi, Arne.

No way for this in the current build.
Will add a new option into the next build, such as:
Search.AllowOpenExternalDoc("true" by default).

Best

Hello Arne,

Builds are usually released every two to four weeks, and the last one was exactly one week ago, so maybe 15-20 days till the new build
It could be more or less - it's a development process as you are well aware :)

Kind Regards,
Stefan
