Default popup

Are you referring to a different screen?
When I click on the icon for JSGME, in the SHx folder (I have placed the program in the separate SHx folders, not a central location.) the permission box opens behind the SHx open window, not in front of it so it is unreachable unless I access it through the taskbar by clicking on it and bring it to the front.
I am sorry I didn't make myself clear in my statement. As you point out, JSGME does not open until I click "Yes."
I suspect that if I place the icons in a central location, I would have the same problem unless I place all the icons on my desktop. The reason I have installed all my icons in the game folder, is that when I am testing, I do not open the game via SH3CMDR but by the SHx.exe file. When I play SH3, I always open the game via CMDR.

"- launch game from within JSGME. As above. The user would need to set the main game file name. This one is doable, but is it useful? Or worth the effort of me adding it? It would work through a task that you select, "Run game", where the first time you use it you're prompted for the file to run, with JSGME saving it for future uses. Let me know if you'd use this feature..."

Not useful for SH3CMDR users. I would like to have the option to open SHx or CMDR. Similarly, when I open SH4 or SH5 to play the game (not test), I open these games via the song randomizer, not by the SHx.exe file.
In other games or in the future with the SHx games, new pre-programs may be added that one would want to open first. As an example Nicolas has a couple of programs that one must activate before launching the game exe program. I am sure other mods might be added in the future that require pre-launch.
As an aside, I can open all three in sequence with AlacrityPC. I haven't done this yet with the new JSGME, so I don't know the effect the permission popup will have.
