It's happened to me on multiple machines for quite some time. I've just gotten into the habit of turning the nav pane back on after each update.

Same here, I just upgraded from 9.4.11.0 to 9.4.13.0 and it still happens. I'm so used to resetting the window layout, expanding all my connection folders and then closing all the sub-status panels at the bottom every time I upgrade I've forgotten about this. I'm sure one day it will happen to enough people to be found.

Also, I've deleted my .lyt file multiple times and eventually this problem reoccurs.

Had this happen again, not sure why other people haven't seen this. It seems to occur when I run an update with RDM running and when it has open sessions as well. This time I also ran into the problem where I couldn't close all the info tabs at the bottom, it would always leave one that I couldn't close. After I closed and started RDM there would be a big red X on that bottom panel (sometimes it was the details panel, then after I tried closing them all again it was the terminals panel).

With reset layouts I just couldn't get them all to close, so I took the RemoteDesktopManagerDefault9220.lyt and manually made that the RemoteDesktopManager.lyt file and it all worked well again. Not sure why that would happen, but just relaying what I did to resolve the problems now.

Whoa, wasn't even aware of chocolately, but as an admin that is SWEET (no pun intended there). Going to have to check it out and test it for updating other apps across the company easily. Thanks again.

Yup, I did, will monitor how it goes after the next upgrade. Also, thanks for the the "Select Dashboard" feature, I believe I requested that and never thanked you for that feature.

Will do, just checked and there were about 20 lyt files of varying dates.

I'm on version 9.2.2.0 now (just upgraded) and for the last 10 updates, the layout gets reset each time after app restart so that the Navigation disappears. Is this intentional? I've performed multiple reset layouts to try and clear all my settings back to a good state, but it continues to occur.

I'll add my name to the list of people that would like to see this. I was hoping to add the computer model to all my entries and be able to sort them, so was hoping to add a field from the Information area of the entry, either hardware or one of the other/custom fields.

I have macros and scripts bound to each computer in my list, one allows me to remote manage a computer while the user watches.

So, to find which computer the user is on, I click the folder name in the tree view which gives me a list of all computers in the right window dashboard - allowing me to see descriptions to find which computer I want.

Is there any way of clicking that computer in the right hand dashboard list view to bring me to the specific computer's dashboard view that also lists scripts/macros? I end up now finding the computer in the list, then again searching for it on the left tree to get the view I need to click my macro.

Ahh... perfect, we updated to 7.0 and it works perfectly. Perfect timing for a feature!

Thanks much.

Hmm, don't see that option for html. I'm running version 6.6, and under my Export I see "Export All Session List (Include Credentials)..." and after that, my only save as type is .rdm.

Am I missing some other location to export it?

We use the Data Entries right now to track various usernames/passwords for objects, such as web pages and other non-server hardware devices.

Our owner wants a copy for his own safekeeping, however he wants it in a format he can read without using the RDM software. I've tested the export options, but none seem to export the password in any format where the password is not encrypted.

Is there such a way as I'm hoping to avoid retyping everything back into an excel spreadsheet for him.

Can confirm fixed, thanks much.

Thanks for looking. Also note it change it from https to http, so it replaced the prefix before the variable.

That sounds better, however I just tried it and I must have missed something.

I created a shared template of web type with the following string: https://$PARENT_HOST$:2000/default.html

Then I added a session script tool, selected template and selected the template I just created above. The command does show under all computers, however when I click the session tool link, I get the following in my browser:

http://computername/

when I should have gotten

https://computername:2000/default.html

I've got RDP set up for all our machines that I manage, however we also run a desktop remote software where I can remote via a web browser and assist users while they watch.

So, in essence I'd like to create subconnections for all my RDP connections that are web connections with the URL:

https://$PARENT_HOST$:2000/default.html

I tried a batch edit but it doesn't look like I can specify sub connections.

Perfect! Thanks much!

Since the 6.1.2 update and now on 6.1.3.0 update the icons before the elements (computers, etc) on the left hand side view are vertically larger than the text of the name of the item. This has caused me to see less of the items in my list and now has created 3 pages of scrollable elements to view. I believe the icons were there before in 6 but something in that look/feel change has created a lot of white space.

Is there any way to change the look/feel to get back to that more compact view of the items and reduce the vertical whitespace?
