Remote Desktop Manager 12 (Beta)

RDM 12 beta seems to have a problem with DPI scaling. On my Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 everything is extremly small and looking weird.

Hi,

Could you try to check the Disable HDPI scaling. It's in File->Options and in the UI section. I don't know the property name in language but with a search I'm sure you can find it.

Regards

I have found the setting and it definitely looking better, but still not OK.

Hi,

Thank you. It seems that the translation is too long. We will make it wrap on two lines.

Hello,

The two issues will be fixed in the next build, thank you for the feedback!

Hi...I'm curious about this feature in v12...can you elaborate?

== What's new ===

• Multi-repository

Hello,

They're our solution to improve performance when you have multiple thousands of entries in your data source.

Think of them as hidden roots, when you define a repository it will store everything under that root. By defining another "repository", you will rather get the content under that root.

The great advantage is that you will have a single set of users/security groups/roles, thereby helping the admins in managing the system by lowering the amount of time they need to spend in managing the security system.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the response.

Is this comparable to manually creating additional databases and migrating entries from default repository?

As I made the slow climb in entries, the performance became dicey. I decided to create two additional databases. So I moved the recent company acquisitions (two distinct company) from the main data source to these new databases.

Main repository performance is better, but I still have 8,000+ entries.

Nope, its physically just one database.

RDM, since its inception, always handled the whole datasource as one block of data. By using repositories, we will handle only that subset of data.

In your case, you would need to create two new repositories (there is always a Default repo), one after the other you would use data migration (Export/Import) to reintegrate your broken datasources in each repository in turn.

Please remember that this is a beta release, it would be best to preserve all of your databases as they are right now and move to a new DB.

Best regards,

We have a new new version available:

http://cdn.devolutions.net/download/Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.11.9.1.0.zip

http://cdn.devolutions.net/download/Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.11.9.1.0.exe

== Change History ==

- Added a UI option to auto size the tree list columns

- Added private vault support for the RDP gateway

- Added support for Opera and Edge in web session external mode

- Added the Server Home Page action in the group dashboard

- Added Type Clipboard menu for RDP

- Fixed a possible issue with private vault and Devolutions Cloud

- Integrated Zoho vault

Using 11.9.1.0, I'm still having an issue with DPI scaling. My setup has a primary 4k monitor (3840x2160) and a secondary monitor at 1920x1200. I typically run RDM on the secondary monitor. DPI scaling setting on or off appears to have no affect. OS is Windows 10 Pro x64 using an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 using the latest driver.

RDM appears to be scaled at 100% as if it is on the 4k monitor. Moving the app between monitors does not change the font size in the tree list. On the 1920x1200 monitor, fonts look to be around 4 points and text is extremely small.

When I connect to a Remote Desktop session, I get 2444x1636 on the remote session on the 1920x1200 monitor, regardless of how I set the Display tab. I have tried forcing the Display to a lower resolution but it does not change the Remote.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Neal,

RDM does not support for now the per monitor DPI. Could you try to disable the HDPI in RDM to see if Windows scale the application correctly? In file Options uncheck Disable display scaling on high dpi

Regards

Hi David,

I have already tried the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option and it does not change the symptom. Note that I had no problem with the current release (11.7.6.0) using the same monitor setup.

Neal

Could you try it now with the 11.7.6.0 installed side by side? You can unzip it in another folder

Regards

Hi David,

Happy to try it but I will need some help with installing it. I have the EXE installer, not the zip file and it complains there is a newer version installed and ends.

Regards,

Neal

You can download the zip here:

http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/ThankYou?f=RDMbin

Unzip it in a folder like C:\RDM and not in program files to have it work side by side

Regards

Hi David,

The production release looks good. Fonts are back to a readable size on the second monitor. It also works fine on the 4k monitor. Note that on the 4k monitor the DPI scaling is set to 150%. RDM works fine on either monitor and everything is back to normal. When I connect to a remote session, I now see a session resolution of 1666x964 on the second monitor (1920x1200) which is what I was getting prior to the beta.

Regards,

Neal

Ok,

This is strange. We haven't changed anything for that in the beta. Could you go in Help->Diagnotic of both application and check if the scaling detected is 100% or 150%?
