Hi SMG,

If i'm try to create a new command line entry, i only have three tabs 'General' 'More' 'Advanced' en not the 'event tab'

Or are you using the 'java web start entry' because there all the tabs are available.

i'm using version 8.0.12.0 with the java web start addon installed

All of my bugs are gone in beta 8.0.7.0. Perfect! Thanks again.

Wow! That's great. Thank you very much! :-)

I already installed 8.0.6.0 and the 2 other bugs have been corrected nicely as well.

Merging RDM with PRTG Network Monitor was just something silly though, but it is a good application from Paessler: http://www.paessler.com/prtg. Maybe you'll like it.

By the way, it is "PRTG Network Monitor" and not "Manager" as I said earlier. Sorry for that.

Great! Thanks for all the effort. I'll wait patiently for the release with the bugfix.

By the way: besides this bug we absolutely LOVE RDM. We use it to remote access our physical servers, our virtual servers (sometimes directly in Hyper-V mode), our switches, our SQL Servers, etc. And it has completely replaced our TeamViewer Manager.

If it could be merged with our PRTG Network Manager, we would have a one-stop administration/management/notification/monitoring application ;-)

Dear David,

Thank you for the reply.

Could you tell me in which version this bug will (probably) be fixed?

If it will be fixed in a couple of weeks, we'll wait patiently for that bugfix :-)

Kind regards,

Just a quick addition:

If you double click a shortcut, the tree to the original will unfold and only the original entry will have a play icon. This is a little confusing. In my opinion the double clicked icon should have the play button and the original entry and its treepath should be kept the way it is at the moment of clicking (so if the original is collapsed, it should stay collapsed).

If something can be done about this, the shortcut feature would be great. If not, I'm thinking about returning to the way we worked before (with duplicates which we have to modify separately).

Kind regards,

Remco van Wingerden

Dear Devolutions people,

A while ago I asked for a feature with which you could add one entry to multiple folders so that you only needed to edit one and all duplicates would also be modified.

Well, I was happy that this is now a feature in RDM 8.0.3.0, but it has a nasty bug:

When creating an entry, you can create a shortcut with the right mouse click or you can add a semicolon ";" after the path to add it to another path as well. Brilliant!

But I found out that entries aren't sorted alphabetically anymore, so I grabbed those entries and dragged them above another item within that same folder.

However, RDM seems to think that I am moving the entry to another folder and it sets the path to that new folder (which is still the same folder), removing the other path after the semi-colon, so the shortcut in the other folder is erased and I only have one entry left :-(

So there are 2 bugs to be fixed:

- Fix the alphabetical sort method

- While moving the entries around (even if it's to another folder) RDM should split the path at the semi-colon, only change the current source folder path (from which you are pulling the entry away) to the new folder path and then merge the paths again with a semicolon

Please, can you fix this bug? I spent an hour deleting duplicate entries and then adding shortcuts for the remaining entries, then I decided to sort them manually and after I sorted half of them manually I saw that most of the shortcuts were gone, so I needed to add them again. I wasn't very happy about that ;-)

I reported the bug to my colleagues, so that they wouldn't try to sort or move these entries around, but it's still a bit tricky, so I would really, really appreciate it if it could be fixed in the next release.

Kind regards,

Remco van Wingerden

Yes please :-)

If it's not too much trouble, I would be very happy to have such a feature. I can't wait for the update! :-)

Thank you very much for considering this to be an interesting feature.

Kind regards,

Hello,

First of all: RDM is great! :)

I have a feature request though: I would like to be able to put a session in multiple folders. If this could be done, we would only have to edit and manage a single session for a particular server, but we would be able to access it from multiple folders.

We now have a session tree in which we have folders for particular types of servers (terminal servers, application-related, backup-related, etc), but some of those servers are (for example) both terminal server and application-related.

So we now have the original session in a folder called "Terminal Servers" and a duplicate of the session in a folder called "Application X". This way we can easily manage all terminal servers at the same time and we can also easily access all servers for application X.

It would be great to have this feature, because we would still have the benefit of accessing a server from multiple folders and we would not have to edit 2 sessions in 2 different places if we want to add some details or change the description of the server.

The simplest way I can imagine to make this work is to be able to do a multi-select in the "Group / folder" box in the "Connection" tab. It could then be separated by a "|" character or something in the database.

Making it even more interesting would be if you could make an alias of a session, which will also be able to have its own overriding settings (e.g. in the folder terminal servers, I would like to log in to the server using my own credentials and opening a regular session, but in the folder "Application X" I would like to log in to the same server using an administrator-account and opening the console session).

I know this is way more complex, but the multi-select for folders would already be a very welcome addition.

Thanks in advance for considering this feature request. If it's already possible to do something like I described, I haven't been able to find it yet. Maybe someone could point it out to me if there is a way to do it in the current version?

Kind regards,

Remco
