I have multiple computers with the same name in different groups. If I have connections open to two different systems with the same name it is hard to tell them apart. It would be great to have the option to add the group name as a prefix to the computer name on the connect tab or the separate window connection. e.g. GroupName - SubGroupName - ServerName

Sure, we will add it as a user configurable setting to v4.0

Any timeframe for the beta release?
By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Sunday, August 12, 2007
Public beta is going to be available around mid of September.
By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Monday, September 17, 2007
The feature has been implemented. It's Off by default, but can be enabled via Tools->Options dialog.

I just downloaded and installed the Beta. I checked this option and it is not working.
By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Monday, October 22, 2007
I just tested it and the feature seems to be working fine here. The preffixing is turned off by default and can be enabled via:
Tools->Options->VNC/RDP/VMRC Viewer->Prefix viewer connection name with group name.

As you can see it does not for me over here.

By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Monday, October 22, 2007
I was able to reproduce it. The preffix works for VNC connections, but doesn't work for RDP. We will fix it in the next update.

Working more on this feature is it possible to suppress "My Registered Computers" or rename it to make it shorter?
By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Monday, January 14, 2008
It sounds like a good idea. It could be implemented in a couple of ways:
1) Don't show "My Registered Computers" prefix at all
2) show a forward slash "\ Address" to indicate that a computer belongs to the root group.

Which one do you think would be better?

Sorry I did not get back to you on this but life goes crazy at times.

If it just showed "\GroupName\ConnectionName" I would be happy

Any change of this change in 4.5?

Any change of this change in 4.5?

Yep, implemented in a post RC build.
By ToyMaster458 - Thursday, December 11, 2008
Should I assume it is not in 4.5.3?

By Yury Averkiev (s-code) - Thursday, December 11, 2008
It's in the 4.5.4.0 build we are working on. This build is planned to be the RTM build.
