I have a definite need to be able to view and chat simultaneously. Chat is being used to actively communicate based on concurrent events on server.UltraSam wrote:This behavior is correct.
I could allow the chat to be active at the same that screen updates. No danger. That drawback is that you'll see BOTH Chat windows in the viewer:
- The viewer one
- The server one
-> the main advantage of the chat (low bandwidth need) would be broken because all screen updates caused by the remote chat window updates (the server one) would be sent, instead of only the messages chars in the current version.
Maybe I'm going to add an option for this...
BTW, in latest RCs, you can now minimize FT and Chat windows which causes the screen to be refreshed again while keeping your FT & Chat contexts intact (and get them back by restauring the minimized windows).
I understand the issue about seeing both chat dialogs.
In order to overcome this I had to:
1. Connect to server using Java Viewer.
2. Connect to server using Viewer.
3. Chat using Viewer.
4. Minimize Viewer.
5. Resize and position Server dialogs (chat dialog in top right)
6. Resize Viewer and Java Viewer dialogs where viewer chat obscures sever chat.
It sure would be nice (my 2 cents worth) if there was an option for concurrent viewer chat.
If anyone has a better solution or other options, please let me know...
