Lave Laar:
New version 1.18 released.

* Fixed a bug that would not clear the image/movie in the config program when right-clicking the image/movie.
* Fixed a bug in the auto-insert code that would add the program path to the image-setting. Even if no picture was found.
* Fixed a bug when using a multi-config-ini skin that would not properly load the correct config-skin.
* Fixed a bug where drag and drop would not add programs to the currently selected config.
* Fixed a bug where quotes or double quotes could be deleted if they where at the start and end of the parameters box.

Thank you for this amazing piece of software! I tried it for the first time today and it does pretty much everything I need it to do.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible for a "normal user" (i.e. without having to bother you about tinkering with the code) to limit the options of the Poweroff menu?
I don't need Quit, Reboot, Standby or Hibernate, just Shutdown. Can I set these options somewhere?
2. Is it possible to exit the Poweroff menu? I haven't found a way yet, and it's a bit of a pain not to be able to go back to the main menu in case someone unwittingly touches the Poweroff menu button.
At the moment, my workaround is as follows:
Skin menu:
- "Hide poweroff image" unchecked
Poweroff menu:
- "Disable poweroff image" unchecked
- "Enable poweroff screen" unchecked
- "Use poweroff delay" 5 seconds
- Run on poweroff: c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe, Parameters /f /s /t 0
This will ensure the machine shuts down ONLY if I keep the shutdown menu button pressed for really long.
Also, I set the Poweroff keys to something different than my "quit game" key, so any of the Poweroff functions won't get triggered accidentally.
As I said, this works nicely for the time being, just wondering if I had maybe overlooked another way.
Again, thank you!
Lave Laar:
I have not put much effort into the poweroff menu, so there are not many options.
But agree that the option to exit the menu should be available.
You could rename/delete the images you don't need in the "ShutdownImages" folder of the skin.
However that would only hide the options and you would still be able to click the placeholders.
Another option is to activate the pin-code option. This will make the shutdown menu unavailable if you don't know the pin.
And it will revert to STFE if you enter the wrong pin.
I will see if I can address these in a future version.

Thanks for the reply!
I was just interested, since I've mainly been using MaLa as a frontend in my other non-touch cabs, and I guess I've gotten used to being able to opt out of the exit menu :)
Now that I've had time to tinker with STFE a bit, I actually found that the delayed exit button strategy is my favorite option, since there is no way you can exit by accident. So no need to change anything on my behalf, and thank you again for your great work!
