Save window layouts

0 vote

avatar

Our main use for this software is to have several windows connected to operator screens each running on a different VM. We tile these windows. It would be very useful to have either a Tile Grid feature (similar to Tile Horizontal or Tile Vertical), perhaps with the ability to select common grid sizes (e.g. 2x2, 2x3, etc.), or just the ability to save a custom window layout. We would immediately pay for the full version if this existed.

Hello,
I will create a ticket for that. This will be in the Free version if we do it. This is the kind of feature that we think should be universal.

Awesome to hear that. Can you let me know how I can follow the ticket, to know if anything happens? Or will updates be posted on this thread?

We will update this thread and you will be notified.

Any timeline updates on this?

Thanks!

Hello Chad,

The feature is still in the backlog of the engineering team; I will notify them that you are also interested in it.

Best regards,

I would also like to add my name to the interest list here. Especially with SSH sessions the ability to grid tile connections would be very nice. Larger resolution monitors would let me work between 3-4 RDP sessions in grid as well.

Thank you for doing this. :-)

This is my vote to say that I'm also interested! :)

Hello,
This is something I tried few years ago but the third party we used was crashing. I will give it a try. I don't want to implement this manually and I try to reuse the existing framework available,

Yes, I would like to add to this as well..... I keep wanting to grid my SSH connections for many reasons.

avatar

@David Hervieux, what third party framework were you using? Any luck? Or does it still crash?

avatar

Hello,
It's DevExpress and it's no longer crashing. It's something that is back on our todo list. I've been able to implement the feature to capture the workspace environnement but it's not for used for the running sessions yet:

Any word on this option? I moved from MobaXterm to RDM and am really missing being able to have a 2x1, 2x2, 4x4, etc view. There are many times when I have several tabs open but only want to tile 2 or 3 of them to compare code and such.

Hello,

Could you try the feature David showed in his latest post? It's now called "Window layouts" and it's still located in the "window" tab of the ribbon. To use it you can configure your entries in a specific grid, and save that layout with a name. Next time you want to use this layout, you can click on that layout in that menu and it should make your entries follow that layout. Can you confirm if that works for you?

I see the "Window layouts" option, however I am having a hard time figuring out how to modify the layout to my liking. How do you make a 2x2 layout? How do you make a 2x1 layout when there are more than two sessions?

Hello,

You can drag out the embedded tabs and then organise them. You will see a pop up overlay like this when you do:


Although upon further testing on my end, not all layouts seem to work well. When I tested yesterday with a 2x2 it worked well, but I tried a 2x1 just now and it didn't restore properly. There may be some issues or limitations regarding that, so I will open a ticket to investigate that. I encourage you to still try the feature and see if it might work for some of your scenarios, and give us some feedback regarding it.
