Hi, RC18 is great! The speed promotion is amazing! The cursor is no longer laggy like a drunken man. :D

I would also like to make a feature request. Though a very small one, but is may save a lot of time.

I start up the Viewer (should really be called a Client or something, because it is not just a *viewer*), and I select a VNC server from the list and hit ENTER. If I enter wrong password, then the window closes and I have to start over again.

Would it be nice if the window still stays there if I type wrong password. I think in most cases (99%) I would really want to connect to a server.

It will save you alot of time eh..
Not to be rude, but wouldn't not misspelling the password be an even more effective way of saving time?
using latest code.... always... except when im not.

You could just save the connection info as a .vnc file with the password included. It's less secure, but just opening the .vnc will connect, password included.

here's one of the easiest (also the most insecure! :p) way that i've long been using.
make a batch file like below in the same directory as vncviewer.exe.
the red is original .vnc file, the blue is added batch format.

@echo off
set file=%0
if exist "%0.bat" set file=%0.bat
start vncviewer -config %file%
goto end

[connection]
host=wherever
port=whatever
:
:
:


[EOF]
:end


this batch file specifies itself as .vnc file, and yes it works :p
