I frequently find myself in a situation of rebooting multiple servers simultaneously. I like to run the continuous ping session tool to do gross monitoring of the system states. With the continuous ping docked, its impossible at a glance to see the state of the machines. It would be nice if continuous ping could be configured to automatically undock.
Thanks Much
Lance

Hi,
I have added this to our todo list. Just to be sure I understand, you have to undock them manually?

Yes, I have to undock and resize manually.

I am not seeing how this is implemented (Version 7.0.2.0)
Could you tell me where to find in the info in the manual?
Thanks
Lance

I'm really sorry, I have added the option but forgot to add it in the UI. Take a look into remotedesktopmanager.cfg (%LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager) and change the value to true for PingContinuousUndocked

An observation, and a question
First, exit RDM BEFORE editing the cfg file. RDM writes its current config back to the file on exit.
Question:
Is there a way to specify window size on the undocked PING window?
Thanks
Lance

It's supposed the use the same room as available when it's not docked. For now it's not possible to specify the size. By the way the option has been added and it's will be in the next update.

Figured that out...So, I did this work-around. Reduce the size of the RDM window to the bare minimum while still seeing at least part of the Continuous Ping Link. Select and go. The windows will be much smaller.
So...thinking this was nifty, I showed it to the co-workers. While all being suitably impressed, they immediately came up with additional suggestions.
The one that was most interesting was the creation of "Ping Groups" a list of hosts that would typically be "Continously Pinged" for whatever reason. When selected, the ping windows would tile within the RDM window...think "Brady Bunch".
The other (see size work-around) would be a horizontal scroll bar. When reducing the main window size, A vertical scroll bar appears, but no horizontal scroll bar.
Regardless, the current mods already are greatly appreciated.
