Disable Updates

[admin]

Now with admin.ini (previously config.ini) I could easily provide a small first step towards cascading catalogs: I could add a key Catalog=[path] where the admin could provide a path to a Catalog that may be located on some server and shared by all users (of course read-only). Would that be interesting?

Yep, sure interesting as a first step, but why not add two levels there already, i.e.:

Catalog_Company=[path]
Catalog_Dept=[path]

...and then probably merge their contents at startup with the user catalog somehow?

Well, "merge somehow" is more work than it sounds... ... I'll think about it...
