I don't recognize that screen shot. Can you tell me where you are seeing this?

[krellman]

I get thatwhen an RDP session timeouts and "Automatically try to reconnect when disconnected from server (RDP $ ICA only)" option is enabled in "Options". Then you have to tick the "Reconnect when ready" every time, which makes the "Automatic" more like... manually.

I am using Bèta version 1.76.8.17214 and I have the same issue. Do I miss something in the options panel or somewhere else?

[arrrghhh]

I'm curious what happened to this option?

It was in the beta version of 1.76, but nowt that I've moved to 1.76.11 'stable' I no longer see this dialog box?

The following setting must be enabled for that dialog to be shown Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatically try to reconnect when disconnected from server (RDP & ICA only)

Great, thank you!

I looked into the previous functionality of the "Automatically reconnection" and "Connect when ready" checkbox, and it seems to have always acted this way.

Normally when a connection is lost the panel that was hosting the connection is destroyed.

When Automatically try to reconnect... is enabled and the connection is lost, then the panel that was showing the connection is not destroyed. Instead, the "Connect when ready" dialog is displayed. When the checkbox is checked, a new connection will be established as soon as possible.

From what I understand, the requested enhancement is to allow you to always reconnect as soon as possible, without always needing to check the "Connect when ready" checkbox. Is that correct?

Are there any times when you may want some servers to always reconnect immediately, but some servers you want to check the "Connect when ready" before reconnecting? Or is the "Connect when ready" checkbox sort of useless? Maybe we can default the checkbox to always checked?

[arrrghhh]

Personally having it set to 'always' would cause issues (for my use case). For example, I work with multiple people who access the same servers using the same accounts (I know, not great practice) - if they needed to 'take' a server over from me, mRemote would then immediately take it back if auto-reconnect was always enabled.

Perhaps if you do go this route, allow a per-machine rule to disable it?

[sparerd]

That's a good point. The other thing we could do is have a sub-option on the Advanced options page like Automatically connect when server is ready.

You would enable Automatically try to reconnect... to enable the current functionality, and that would allow you to also set the sub-option Automatically connect when server is ready which would enable the dialog checkbox automatically for all connections.

We can do a per-connection option, but that might be overkill unless it's really useful to be able to do that. We would have to add a connection property to handle it.

[arrrghhh]

The sub-option would be fine. I don't think I need a per-connection property, so long as there is a way to configure the option to auto-check that box (or not).

Thanks!

I'm in the situation where I'd like to automatically reconnect without the additional prompt.
I do robocopy via \tsclient\ with the restart flag set.
Some of the file copies I can do can take up to 8 hours (and unfortunately RDP is the only way the customer will let us do it). Having mRemoteNG automatically reconnect for me without any further interaction would allow me to set and forget it.

I would also like to have not to tick the check-mark "Reconnect when ready".
This should be enabled by default to avoid interruptions

[DrSchnagels]

Would be awesome !!!

any updates on this feature?
