Removing Refresh and Load operations from context-menu

Contributed by: Kalle Saunamäki

Did you know that you can remove those "Refresh Applications" and "Load Applications" from SoftGrid Client's context-menu (in version 4.0 and upwards)?

Visibility of these options are controlled by two registry values, found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Softricity\SoftGrid Client\CurrentVersion\CustomSettings key (this key does not exists if you haven't selected option to hide presence of client using Properties->Interface in Client Management Console):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Softricity\SoftGrid Client\CurrentVersion\CustomSettings
"TrayShowRefresh"=dword:00000000
"TrayShowLoad"=dword:00000001

Setting value data to 0000001 (or omitting the whole value in key) makes selection visible, setting value data to 00000000 hides the selection.

Using directories in Sequencer exclusions

Contributed by: Kalle Saunamäki

When defining any custom exclusion items in Sequencer, if excluded item is a directory then remember to not end the item with backslash. So instead of using "%CSIDL_APPDATA%\Myapp\" use "%CSIDL_APPDATA%\Myapp".

Sequencer will happily ignore all directory exclusions that end with backslash, taking those excluded directories and any other directories and/or files inside inside VFS/package.

One exception to this (that I've seen using version 4.0) is if the directory is one character long, e.g., C:\S, the Sequencer will exclude all directories beginning with C:\S. To resolve this, we added the following exclusion item: "C:\S\", and this seems to work.
