hello, just an FYI, I have RAM Write Protect implemented now in REX# 2.2. Seems to work well, will be testing it out.
* in RAM tab in REXMGR, "W" toggles the write protect status of a RAM image * write protect ON is indicated by "!" ex. "RAMIMG !" would indicate this image is write protect * any ram image under the cursor can have write protect status toggled. * Quick menu CNTL-B: if the ACTIVE RAM image is write protected, then don't allow the backup to proceed * REXMGR: hitting ENTER over the ACTIVE RAM image prevents backup when write protected if the user attempts to refresh the ACTIVE RAM image * REXMGR: hitting ENTER over the non-ACTIVE RAM image prevents backup when write protected if the user attempts to refresh the ACTIVE RAM image On Mon, Jan 30, 2023 at 9:28 PM Stephen Adolph <twospru...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Yah, that is the issue.
