Stop jumping to open selection and remember settings on exit
Stop jumping to open selection and remember settings on exit
0 vote
Good morning.
I'm going to combine a couple requests in one posting here...
First request would be to make RDM stop "jumping" to the active connection when closing out a connection. For instance....
I am connected to an entry that is down towards the bottom of my listing of 400+ servers. I scroll up quite a bit and find the entry I want to connect to. When I am done on this connection and need to connect to a server that is three entries down the list, if I don't connect to the close one first, the entry list jumps all the way back down to the bottom of my listing where my active connection is and I have to scroll back up over 200+ servers. Can we possibly make this a selectable on/off option for the end-user? Or, just keep it from jumping like it does?
Second request is to remember the selections when closing the program. For instance... If all entry folders are collapsed, open the program collapsed. If 12 of the 186 folders I have are expanded, then just expand those when re-launching RDM. Currently, it seems random at what folders it collapses / expands on its own when re-launching.
Thank you!

Hello Chuck,
For your first request, you can turn off the "Auto select item on tab focus" option under File > Options > UI > Tree View.
I will let the engineering team respond for your other request.
Best regards,
Richard Boisvert

I even looked through all the Options selections to make sure there wasn't something there, and I completely missed this one.
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello Chuck,
Great to hear it works.
I heard back from the engineering for your other request, the tree viw should be saved automatically already. In the same location as before, is the "Open callpsed by default" checked?

Negative sir, it is not:
And it doesn't expand every single folder. It just does random amounts, and then other times I can load RDM, and every single folder is collapsed. No honest explicit reasoning...

Hello Chuck,
As a test, would it be possible for you to create a portable installation of the latest version of RDM and see if this issue still occurs? To do so, you will need to do the following:
1- Download the .zip file below:
https://remotedesktopmanager.com/home/thankyou/rdmbin
2- Create a new folder on your Desktop
3- Extract the content of the .zip file into the folder created at #2
4- Go to this folder once the .zip file has been extracted and run remotedesktopmanager.exe
5- Connect to your data source
This test will allow us to rule out your local installation of RDM, more specifically a local setting, as a possible cause for this issue.
Best regards,

I will utilize this method to start my day tomorrow.
Stay tuned, and thank you for the very quick responses!
