Re: [sword-devel] Question about GerHfa2002 and locked modules in general
Ok, thanks. I thought it may be convenient for the user to be informed about this *before* installing a corresponding module. Is there a way to automatically acquire and check the .conf file without installing the corresponding module first?

I replied with a PocketSword screenshot, but the image was bigger than the 50k threshold. Would the list moderator please accept my earlier reply. Thanks.

[sword-devel] Question about GerHfa2002 and locked modules in general
Hi, I stumbled across GerHfa2002 and found that it's a locked module. http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=GerHfa2002 Is it possible through the API of InstallMgr or SWModule to detect whether a module is locked or not? It would be nice if the user could see that piece of information before installing a module that requires an unlock key. I didn't find any way to get that information automatically.
