Save As Dialog when closing a program in a write protected folder in operator mode.

So we've got our programs stored in a write protected folder on the network, so that the inspectors don't have access to accidentally save over the programs. The CMMs are usually in Operator mode, and whenever we close a program using "Exit to File Manager" such that we can open a different program, it pops up an alert saying that it can't open the file with write access, and then pops up another window which asks us to save as somewhere else. This is annoying because the save as window looks just like the open window.

How do I make this go away? I'd imagine that it's just a setting somewhere that I need to check or uncheck or set to False. I'm expecting them to just get the Open dialog when they click the exit to file manager button in the marked sets.

  • The simplest way I found to achieve this is to open PCDMIS in online mode and put it in "Protected Mode" through Edit>Protected Mode. after assigning a password, then close PCDMIS and open the operator mode shortcut. Now operator mode is running in protected mode and will not save on close. Exit to File Manager now closes the program without prompting a save as dialogue window. The program does, however, still throw the error on opening about not being able to write to disk. Not sure if that is something that can be fixed.
