Regarding the hidden settings feature

[zhenzhen122]

Regarding the hidden settings feature: Is it possible to conceal the settings entry point? Since end-users could potentially disable the service through the settings menu. I'm willing to provide additional sponsorship if you could help investigate this possibility.

TESTING TESTING

Does it work now? Should I select specific options, or are you still working on it?

It takes awhile,
in the morning i can provide more info or so

[zhenzhen122]

OK, thank you. I look forward to your updates.

[VenimK]

been pushing several new workflows and patches ....

So, i see progress now :)
Still might need work ...

Feel free to do a few test runs

I'm not sure about the behavior on Mac computers, but on Windows, selecting "Disable ALL settings (complete lockdown)" only hides the "Security" and "Network" options.

While selecting the "Hide specific settings (granular control)" option and checking all sub-options results in no settings being hidden.

Can the option to completely hide settings be configured to remove the entry point directly, rather than hiding each sub-option individually?

thats why i said

Understood. Appreciate your hard work. Should there be any progress, I stand ready to test it.

[VenimK]

Allready on it

Understood. Appreciate your hard work. Should there be any progress, I stand ready to test it.

Cannot be hidden:

❌ General tab (always visible)
❌ Display tab (no hide option)
❌ Plugin tab (no hide option)
❌ About tab (always visible)

Pushed new workflow version now

I've tested it, and the result is indeed as you described. However, for settings that cannot be hidden, have you considered disabling the entry point to the settings menu entirely? If users cannot access the settings page, they naturally won't be able to modify any configurations.

[VenimK]

that would be the end result.
just trying to test a few things first :)

[VenimK]

Looking good :)

Never mind the sub section, i'l remove those ...
Let me know how this works under win and so ...

Tested on Windows as follows:
1、

2、 **You're currently testing the hiding functionality for each individual setting option, but could you prioritize resolving the issue of hiding the settings entry point? This is a more urgent need for me, and I'm willing to provide additional donations to support your work.**

This only show the About tab
Not any of the settings show up
Having to options to select is better i think, might be usefull for other users

Now after testing, I found that the "Incoming Only" version cannot be installed on Windows, while the "Bidirectional" version works without any issues.
