Add “After Opening” Event Support in RDM Linux

Description

In the Windows version of Remote Desktop Manager, there is an “After Opening” event available under:
Entry Properties → Events → After Opening
This allows users to configure post-connection scripts directly within the UI.
However, in the Linux version of RDM, the “After Opening” event option is missing from the UI.

Despite this, if an After Login / After Opening script is configured in RDM Windows, it does execute correctly when the same entry is opened from RDM Linux. This confirms that:

  • The backend support exists
  • The execution engine supports the event
  • Only the UI configuration option is missing in Linux


Current Behavior

  • The “After Opening” event is not visible in RDM Linux under Entry Properties → Events.
  • If the script is configured from RDM Windows, it runs successfully on Linux.
  • The event cannot be created or edited directly from Linux.


Expected Behavior

  • The Linux version should expose the “After Opening” event option in the Entry Properties → Events section.
  • Ability to create, edit, and manage post-open scripts directly from Linux.


Impact

  • Inconsistent experience between Windows and Linux clients.
  • Linux-only users cannot configure post-open automation.
  • Creates confusion since the functionality works but is not configurable.


Suggested Improvement
Add the missing “After Opening” event UI support to RDM Linux to match the Windows implementation and ensure consistent cross-platform behavior.
