Hello,

First I wanted to congratulate you on an awsome product. I just started using it three days ago and am totally sold already. There are however, (as this forum suggests) some features that I would like to suggest.

The first is a button or menu option that allows you to create custom hot key combinations that get sent to the server, i.e. I can use the combination CNTRL+ALT+E to send the equivilant of a Windows key + E. Since unless you are in full screen mode the standard windows combinations (windows+E for explorer etc) won't be sent to the server, this will allow us to create our own combinations that will work in either full or windowed mode.  A window or option similar to the image below with the addition of another button to allow you to add more button combinations to the list would be nice. (Note: The image is a print screen from UltraVNC's tabbed viewer http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63887)

The second feature I would like to request is the ability to blank out the remote pc's screen and lock their controls (again a feature that is supported by UltraVNC's server and viewer). If this is possible with VNC Manager then I would also like the ability to choose to both lock controls and blank the screen or just lock their controls but let them still follow what you are doing. An extention (if possible) to that request would be the ability to have a custom message or image be displayed on the remote pc when their screen is blanked out i.e. "This computer is currently being managed remotely, please wait."

The third thing is support for multi-displays. UltraVNC's tabbed viewer has a button to toggle between desktops/screens on a server with multiple monitors. A similar button in VNC Manager would be really nice.

Finally the last feature I would like is an option to execute a file remotely on a pc without having to first connect via RDP or VNC. Something similar to Systernals PSEXEC. I would like to be able to right click on a server and click on an option to execute a file on that server. That way if the server you need to connect to doesn't have VNC on it you can remotely send and execute a standalone VNC server so you can connect.

Thanks again!

Sorry for the delay with reply to your post.

Some of the suggested features are going to be implemented in the v3.5 release. Remote program execution and UltraVNC lock/blank-out should be available in one of the upcoming beta builds. We will put the other feature on the features request list so we could consider them later.

Thanks for the suggestions!



Kindest Regards,

I'd like to throw in my vote for the ultravnc lock/blank-out feature.  That would be very helpful for the computer lab where I teach!

Jim,
remote UltraVNC keyboard/lock feature is available in the v3.5.25.0 build, which is available for download from our web site.

Just to let you know that v3.6 Beta will include UltraVNC single window selection support, this feature had been implemented already in the v3.6 code branch.



Kindest Regards,

Great!  I have that version already installed, but I can't seem to find where to execute that blank screen function for my UltraVNC clients.

Thanks in advance!

I just figured it out....cool!

In ver. 3.6, will I be able to select a group of servers to "blankout" at the same time?
