Some UltraVNC feature requests...

Post by scottcopus »

Hi,

Here's a few UltraVNC feature requests (using 1.0RC18 right now) ....

1. When the Windows VNC Viewer is trying to connect to a host that is down (offline, etc), the viewer will not respond to the "Cancel" button when the status is at "Connecting...". Also, it seems to take a long time (maybe a minute) before it will timeout.

2. Upon opening the VNC Viewer via a Windows shortcut, I would like to have the option "Auto Scaling" checked by default. However, using the command-line option /autoscaling only seems to work when specifying the actual host to connect to. Do most of these command-line options only take effect when you must specify the remote host on the command-line too? I don't think TightVNC has this problem.

3. File-transfer window:
a) Instead of just having the "Close" button inside the window, put back the "X" close button on the window title.
b) For the local computer, use the "Windows" explorer-type view hierarchy where "Deskop" is the root of the tree, followed by My Computer, etc. (instead of just listing A:, C:, D:)

Keep up the great work trying to get CPU usage down on the VNC server side!

Scott.

1:
known bug

2:
agreed. it should eventually be reorganized, indeed.
looks like VNC generally has somewhat vague commandline option processor.

3:
good idea.
small "Recent Folders" feature would rock, btw.

CPU:
for some computers I use "below normal" priority and it seems alright.

the new version has more to the file transfer,
and the new video driver is even better then before.
