Hello,

since version 9.2 it is not possible anymore to start multiple instances of Remote Desktop Manger.
I used this feature with different datasources so im missing it.
Is it possible to reactivate?
There was an option to enable this but i dont find it anymore.

Thanks
Christoph

Hi,

From time to time I run 2 instances of RDM and it would be handy to add User Account on which particular instance is working in RDM main window title. It will help for "1-look" information on which instance I'm working now.

Something like that:




This option could be on/off just under "Allow multiple instances" checkbox:


and by default in Off state

Hi,
I will check if we can add more details in the application menu.

Hi,

or maybe just allow to use Variables in this box then almost all combinations will be possible

It's a little bit tricky because we will have to refresh the title every time you select an entry or change the data source or at multiple places in the application. This could cause a lot of issues. I will see what we can do perhaps a limited set of variables.

Hi,
This will be in the next beta with those supported variables:

$DATA_SOURCE_USERNAME$, $DATA_SOURCE_NAME$ and $APPLICATION_NAME$

Hi,

Unfortunately, no, "Allow multiple instances" is not supported on Linux yet.
I will bump the priority of this feature on our TODO list.

Hi,

Not yet, no.
