Auto-connect on launch #22

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
First, thanks. IMO this is best reverse-connect VNC app out there because
of the cross-platform builds.

My goal is to be able to send someone a file and have them connect to me
with only a double-click to launch the file.  I couldn't tell from the
planned command-line features in 0.6 if that was going to be possible.  If
so, would the user needing help need to run a batch file (Win) to achieve
that?  Perhaps in future versions a simple XML config file could be checked
at startup, allowing one to configure app autoconnect and hosts among other
options (and superseding functionality of hosts.txt)?

Again, thanks for the great work.

We could either allow developers access to examples for: batch files (win),
applescripts (OS X) or Desktop files (Linux) to accommodate this. Or like you 
said,
have functionality of this built into a preference file.

Yes, my vote would be for both options.  Batch files and AppleScripts have their
place, but only complicate things for most users needing remote help.

When I can have someone on Linux, Mac or Win download the appropriate single,
executable file branded with my icon, have them doubleclick it and immediately
connect to me, gitso will be the ultimate remote assistance tool.

I agree that simplicity for the users getting help is the key.  I would like the
option to compile a file that the end user would simply double-click; done.

I would also like to suggest that being able to add a message or image for 
display
when the user opens the file would be nice... something like "Please wait while 
we
attempt to connect.  If you're having trouble, please call the support desk at
xxx-xxx-xxxx".  Of course the text would have to be configurable.  We use this 
option
with our windows-only support solution, and having a cross-platform 
single-purpose
tool would be really, really great!
