Any way to always load "Full Dektop" view?

Post by kosmokramer »

Hello,

I have a lot of saved connections on my computer. Most of our users have dual monitors. Is there any way to make it so that when I open a user's connection (.vnc), it automatically loads the "full desktop" view so I can easily see both screens while helping them?

Right now, I have each connection setup to disable the toolbar, so I have to do the following steps EACH time I connect to a users computer:

- Right click, "Show Toolbar"
- On toolbar, click "Select Full Desktop" a couple times until it actually gets to the full desktop view
- Right click, "Hide Toolbar"

Doesn't seem like much, but trust me, it gets annoying while helping out all of our users each day. Would be much easier if I could just double-click the .vnc file and get started helping them instead of jumping through all the hoops.

Appreciate any/all help!

Please check the commandline parameters
http://216.55.178.47/docs/uvnc-viewer/5 ... eters.html

-notoolbar
Do not display the toolbar.
-fullscreen
Display viewer in full screen mode.

Then you need some bat file to start the viewer with this commandlines

Hi Rudi,

I think you misunderstood what I was asking. I don't need to use fullscreen mode, but rather "full desktop" mode (i.e. where both monitors are displayed in one window). I'd like to do this by default every time I connect to a user's computer.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm looking for:

See how it is both of the user's monitors in one window, auto-scaled to fit on one of my screens?

Any way to do that via command-line?

Did you tried to set prim+sec as default.
The default value is set on the server site.
ultravnc.ini
primary=1
secondary=1

I'll try that. For some reason, the default ini says "secundary" instead of "secondary". Could that be the issue? I don't ever remember typing that, so perhaps it's a typo in the default install?

Thank you so much for your replies - greatly appreciated!

to be sure, just add secundary and secondary, unknown value's are ignored.

Rudi!

You are awesome! That fixed it!! Not sure where the typo in the .ini came from, but adding "secondary=1" fixed it!

Thank you so much for your help!
