RDCMan - Better multi-monitor support #528

Open i3v opened 2 years ago

i3v commented 2 years ago

Both my client and server PCs use Windows 10. On the client side, I got 3 monitors: 1200x1920, 3840x2160, 1200x1920. Note that this results in a non-rectangular total working area (1920 is "centered" inside 2160).

When I connect to a remote PC with the built-in Windows 10 "mstc.exe", I can easily use whole-screen normally. All I need is to set the "Use all my monitors for the remote session" checkbox. The "normally" includes that:

However, in RDCman 2.90:

It's a pity that RDCman is effectively unable to normally work with 4K monitors and multi-monitor setups. It would be nice if you make it on par with "mstc.exe" because in many other aspects it is more convenient (e.g. in managing multiple remote systems).

In addition it would be awsome to be able to select the monitors as described in: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/how-to-remote-desktop-fullscreen-rdp-with-just-some-of-your-multiple-monitors

I tried to use 2 monitors out of 3 for RDP Connection to the same server via RDCMan but failed.
