Windows 7 - RDM minimize/restore strange behaviour

Hi,
Which version do you use, because I know that I fixed something that might be related. It's in the version 5.6.0.16

Let me know please

Hi,

I am using latest stable version available for download - 5.5.1.0.

Regards,
Jovan

The version 5.6 will be released today, maybe you can give it a try when it's available.

Thank you

Hello,

I have installed new version (5.6), but still have same issues.

Regards,
Jovan

Ok,
Thank you I will do more test with Windows 7

I have the solution for this, in my RDP file:
desktopwidth:i:1280
desktopheight:i:1024
session bpp:i:16
winposstr:s:0,3,0,0,1380,1124

If the desktopwith and heght are less than the two last entries in wniposstr, the issue isn't there. So I have made my rdp files by adding 100 to each. Problem solved.
In you program, you have to set winposstr accordingly.

Hope this will help you.

Feature request:
Drag and drop sessions between group / Folders , this is the only thing I am missing in this app, evaluationg this now for our Company. :)

Hi,
Thank you for the solution, I will try that. For your feature request, I'm not sure I understand, do you have the latest version (5.6), because drag and drop of session is here.

Maybe I miss something?

Hi again.
I’m running version 5.6.3.0
I can drag and drop an .rdp file into a group / folder – this works fine.
But if I already have a session in Group / Folder “A”, I would like to drag that to Group / Folder “B”. (Move the session to another Group)
I’m not able to do that. I have to manually edit the session and specify the new Group / Folder.

Hope I'm clearer now? :)

Hi,
it's exactly what I understand, but it work fine for me in the treeview. I will verify what might be the problem.

Ahh, Tree view... Sorry, didn't see that one. I Probably works then

The Doc.

Yes, in Tree View it work just fine!

Thanks for your excellent help!

i have the same problem with RDM minimize/restore in windows7.

Here is a workaround, but then you loose some of the good news in Windows 7 (Aero snap and so on):
Go to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the mouse easier to use
Check the box: "Prevent windows from being autmatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen"
Hope you can use this until David fixes this ;)

Also, to David:
Have you any luck with my tip on this matter? (Se post in this thread 11/11/2009)

Hi Guys,
I will try to fix this issue, but I must be honest, my new development machine (with Windows 7) is delayed and I was counting on that to get a better trace of what going on. But it should be here soon and it's on my top priority list. By the way, the version 5.7 is now available in the Beta forum.

For DrWatson: your workaround is also a top priority.

Thank you all
