I am looking for some feedback on an experimental version of Gnome-RDP.
The code is available at
https://gnome-rdp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnome-rdp/branches/experimental
Compatibility Notes.
1) This is a complete rewrite of the original application.
2) It is side by side compatible with the release version of gnome-rdp.
3) It does not use sqlite for storage. It uses an ini file based storage
with files saved in Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData under
GnomeRDP.
4) On the first run, it will automatically import all sessions from your
existing gnome-rdp sqlite database. It will not modify or delete your
existing database.
Features.
1) The experimental version of Gnome RDP introduces functionality to
support identity profiles as well as rdp/vnc/ssh profiles.
a) Identity profiles allow you to create/edit an identity which can
be linked to session profiles. This simplifies the process of creating
server session as well as updating password credentials which may be the
same for multiple servers. Password are stored in the Gnome keyring.
b) Rdp/Vnc/Ssh profiles allow you to create/edit a set of
preferences which can be used for multiple server sessions. This is
intended to simply creating new server sessions as well as to allow you
to change things like screen size in 1 place.
2) The UI has been substantially changed (hopefully for the better) and
includes drag and drop functionality for group management.
3) The application include a filterable log view to consolidate log
reporting and eliminate annoying "Foo, Foo, Foo" dialogs.
4) The application is considerable more efficient with respect to file
system accesses and Keyring lookups.
Thanks
Jim
