Admin Privileges?

Why does fdm need the admin privileges?

You don't need admin privileges unless you install fmd in restricted area such as program files.
Because FMD essentially is portable app, you can see fmd config, favorites and works files located in the same area as the exe file. FMD can't write this file without admin privileges. Usually if app installed to restricted area, its config file will resides in %appdata%. But, since developer doesn't have interest to make setup version, just enjoy this portable version.

Thats not the problem. I use the Builds from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3ccy2c7g36hp3/Fmd#5uoguv1a9cdkh that Cholif linked and exacted them direct on the desktop.

EDIT: Even when i download the Version 0.9.7.1 from github the fmd.exe require admin privileges.

EDIT2: same with the 0.9.8 from the github releases.

That was the same file, I just re-upload it here. Admin needed for shutdown and hibernate. Also used to run external process like updater. If you feel insecure, just look at the source what its can do, eliminated what you want and compile it for yourself.

I've been change execution level to asInvoker for recent release. It should not asking for admin privileges anymore.
