Hi!

Thanks so much for all these changes/enhancements/fixes.

In a future version, can I recommend giving us the ability to center the
text in the "Wait Dialog" box. (Vertically and Horizontally). Or, have it
centered by default.

Thank you.

-Robert

PS: I'm rolling out my first SB5 installs tonight.

Hi,

I did some internal test here with our support department - and IN-USE is
not working. If the file is marked as "Read-Only", then it is considered an
"IN-Use" file.

I can't let it go out this way, as there are files people have as READ-ONLY.

SB4 worked properly knowing the difference between In-Use and Read-Only. SB5
does not.

Hello,

Also, I noticed that InUse Folder Tree is checking sub-folders.

I'm sure you intentionally did this, and it is great. However, in the
future, maybe an option to not check any sub-folders - I'm sure some would
used it.

:-)

Robert,

I'll try to add a subfolder depth limit. Set it to 0 (default) and all
folders and sub-folders are scanned.

Thanks,
Friedrich
