RDP : Mac : Resolution Adjust to Window size
Hi ..
I'm using RDM on OSX, the latest version available (5.4.0.0).
I've created an RDP session to a Windows VM, and I've set it to be 'undocked'.
Is there a way that once the RDP session is initiated, that if I resize the window; the RDP session auto-adjusts the resolution of the desktop ?
I know I can do this with VMware Fusion, but I also know that it's using the console of the VM; not RDP.
I'm looking to buy a nice wide monitor, and I would like to be able to stick 2 RDP sessions side by side.
But I'd rather not have to figure out what the resolution would be for the window.
I see the option 'smart sizing', but it doesn't seem to do this.
And when I set the other settings, I either get a squeezed looking interface or the scrollbars appearing.
Many thanks.

Hi Ivan,
In this case, I'd recommend the Smart Reconnect option. I don't think there's anyway around this, the only way to change the actual resolution of the remote session is through a reconnect. This is what the Smart Reconnect should do. It will trigger a reconnect when it observe a change in the size of the session's container.
If this is what you tried and it didn't work, could you provide with a screenshot of the result?

Hi Xavier ..
Yeah, this is what I had a feeling it was going to be.
RDP isn't a console screen, so it derives it's resolution at connection time; rather than the size of the window (like an actual screen).
I'll give it a try when the new monitor turns up.
Thanks for the quick response.
