Option to show ONLY servers primary screen

Post by akaidiot »

My server pc has a primary screen with 1024x768 resolution and a secondary of 1024x576 and I always only want to see the scaled down primary monitor.

As it is now(with RC20.2) it first loads both of the monitors and then when they are rendered it(as it seams) to re-render the primary monitor when I press "Select full desktop".

This is very time consuming and unneccesary. If there was an option, either on the viewer or the server, to set it to go directly to the primary monitor the rendering would speed up greatly!

I have another pc on the same monitor on the same ADSL connection and the rendering of that computer is significantly faster.

In my opinion this should be included in the 1.00(2.00?) release.

To many reading, forgot the answer some messages..

option: no
Option menu is already overloaded, and most people don't
find anything in it. An extra option also need to be added to
several files(6), resources etc...when it is an option, people want it as command line. 2 more files to change.
After making changes to 8 files, there is usual some bug in it :(

default:
Some people want the second, other the first and some the expanded.

Changing a default is not a lot of work, but i think i changed to the expanded screen on request of someone else.

Default to primary ????

Porhaps this could be impleamented with RC207+?

Either way, thanks for fixing the: If connecting with "View only" to a computer that has screensaver active it deactivets the ss bug.

Although another quite frequent(for me) bug isn't fixed: If you set it to "Disconnect all existing connection" when a new connection tries to connect it doesn't disconnect the active connetion. After a failed connection attempt when the server has a viewer connected and you then go back to first connected viewer it will automaticlly close the viewer and then you can connect from whichever computer. It basically failes in disconnecting a user when a new user(ip) tries to connect.. Also if you set it to allow multiple viewers that doesn't work either.
