Default to single monitor

On connect I would like to default to a single monitor. In my case monitor 1

Duplicates 3
Select Default Screen

When opening a ScreenConnect Access session from a workstation with two or more monitors the session always opens on the monitor that is the main desktop (Screen 1). It would be great if there were a way to select which monitor a session opens on, rather than always open on the main desktop.

Thanks

Add ability to remember window preferences on startup

Partner would like option for product on startup to remember window preferences.

Remember the Windows Size set last time connected to specific sessions.

CW#7583976:

Have a way for ScreenConnect to remember the Window Size that was set when a host last connected to a specific host, and use that by default.

Can this be different for each user? for example currently if a user changes the screen quality to low then the next person who logs in will see that same quality. it would be nice for each person to have their own personal settings.

This would be great if this option could be saved as a user preference per user.

The only problem I see with this is that if there is more than one monitor, and the end user has the web browser (for instance) set to open on monitor #2, the tech might end up thinking there's a problem with the application instead of just that it opened on the other screen and he didn't see it. I'm actually guilty of this myself :) Would be just peachy if there was a way to indicate that an application that was run has appeared on the non-displayed monitor.

PLEASE allow us to default to only showing 1 monitor what a small alert to show there are other monitors?


We service a lot of POS machine with customers displays the fact that it shows both every time is killing us.

Ditto for this. Or, at the very least, remembering the last config from a workstation to a remote system.


For instance, if someone works from home on one monitor but has two monitors at work, they should be able to have default settings (once those settings are chosen). Similar to how apps remember where their last display was set.

i'd prefer to default to whatever it was last we connected, but I'd lean towards showing everything initially.  Once we've connected to a device and either filtered down to a single monitor OR split out the monitors to seperate windows I'd like subsquent connections to keep those settings.


I'm afraid that defaulting to a single monitor is going to cause us to frequently miss that they have multiple monitors.

Oh I totally agree. I have offered the Windows + P as an option to switch between multiple/single. But users don't WANT an extra step when they are used to RDP.


What I mean is actually defaulting to change the remote settings to a single monitor, not just view a single monitor.


So basically, it would be nice if by default it behaved like RDP but gave the OPTION to extend to a second monitor - not the other way around.
