I don't see some popup windows on host and often can't copy and paste from viewer to host

Hello Lou,

Copying/pasting is very different when it comes to copying simple text vs. rich text vs. media content vs. files. What content do you specifically have issues with copying?

FYI for others: Once you change the name of the address book, you have to UNCHECK & CHECK them from displaying before the name will change in the display.

We fixed this little nuisance in the upcoming update 6.3.0.2, which is soon to be available for download  :)

Hello Michael,

You need to rename the book in the Address book manager (Viewer -> Tools -> Address Book Manager). Like shown on this screenshot  

Hope that helps.

We'll test this too. Thank you for letting us know. Such usability issues can only be revealed by real-world user input :)

Hi Michael,

Ok, we'll test it exactly as you describe and see what we can do.

Idea: Indicate ready after reboot

Hello Michael,

If you are connecting directly, then if you enable "Auto-logon" in connection properties the Viewer will simply automatically log back on to the remote PC. The connection icon will change its state once logged on. Auto-logon also works for Internet ID connections routed via your self-hosted RU_Server.

For internet ID connections routed through our default/hosted servers auto-logon doesn't work yet. However, we plan to add that feature in the future.

Also, if you are sharing address books/or connected to your own RUT server (as we do), it would be nice for it to turn the icon green to alert you someone is currently remoted into that system.

Currently, if you enable the Notification panel on the remote Host, you can see if you are the only person connected or if there are other technicians with an open session.

However, you suggestion does make sense, but only after we implement users and rights management for address books (which we plan to do actually pretty soon). In other words, we need to be consistent so that all features fit naturally the underlying logic/structure.

Hello Nick,

This ball and the menu that it invokes use semi-transparency. Please, check out this troubleshooting article, it should help https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/some-windows-or-menus-are-not-visible/

Hello Michael,

You mean local monitors, right? Those that are connected to your Viewer machine?

Hello Michael,

Just to clarify - does the Viewer console reappear on another screen when you switch to that screen?
