Hi,
I & my colleagues are evaluating RDM10 & RDMFree for our company and think it offers a nice feature set.
But during our evaluation we noticed a "half-bug / half-feature-request" issue, a minor one that better be brought to your attention quickly.
For VNC session using UltraVNC embedding, the "Scaled" option does its scaling-down as intended, but it also scales-up when the Remote-Screen-Size is smaller than the Local-Screen-Size.
To me, Scaling-Up is rather unnecessary as it would blur the pixels of an already good fit. Please kindly implement it in a way that it only scales down but not up.
I've looked into the "-autoscaling" flag for UltraVNC, it too scales up under the same conditions.
Then may I suggest a possible way of doing it? Maybe RDM can grab both the remote & local screen sizes to compare and judges whether to apply the "-autoscaling" flag? Or even simpler to just provide a button to let user to toggle the "autoscaling" (ultravnc viewer already allows this) ?
Thanks very much for your attention.

Hi Godric,
It's not that simple unfortunately. We have created an ActiveX to host UltraVNC. Unfortunately we don't have the latest version. We plan to upgrade it eventually but it's not an easy task since we have to restart from scratch.

Thanks David for your prompt response and well noted on the technical feasibility.
I figured that I'd just use "-scale 9/10" as additional parameter to lock the scale ratio to suit my case.
Thanks for your help.
