Just installed and directly rolled back to 1.69. Translation to dutch is shown correctly but PuttyNG crashes directly when opening an connection this is an critical program for me for mRemoteNG for connecting to linux hosts

Can you be more specific? Does it crash when you make any type of connection, or just SSH, just RDP? Do you get an error message? Can you send me mRemoteNG.log?

Hi,
I'm having issues with using several panels.
When I open a connection that has a different panel than the current panel set and I switch back to the original panel I cannot navigate between the tabs anymore.
If I however minimize the window and bring it back up I can switch between the tabs again.

Hi,

it would be nice to have the new option "UseCredSSP" straight in Tools ---> Options ---> Connections, with the login option.

I suggest that because I've over 400 computers in my mRemote and if I put it in my first folder it doesn't want to inherit (just to be clear, not the "Connection" folder, I talk about the first folders right under it)

By the way, the "UseCredSSP" is working perfectly!

Thanks!

hello,

I am having a similar issue to koencalliauw's case.

When I open multiple tabs under a Panel on my second screen (which has a higher resolution than my default screen), then I can't navigate between tabs. Clicking tab doesn't help and only the last active tab is usable.

thanks,

hello,

here is another issue I am having with 1.70 RC1. We have several servers where we connect them using SSH. Based on their location, purpose, owner, etc, we put them into different folders.

When I try to open multiple SSH connections (I usually right click the folder that contains the connections and select Connnect), I can open connections in first folder, but when I try to open connections from another foloder, I am getting following errors:


----------
ErrorMsg
3/5/2012 11:58:10 AM
Opening connection failed!
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
----------
ErrorMsg
3/5/2012 11:58:10 AM
Couldn't add panel
Invalid parent form. When using DockingMdi or SystemMdi document style, the DockPanel control must be the child control of the main MDI container form.

I tried to open single connection from each folder and I am getting same error.

hello,

one last case, it is not an error, but kind of irritating stuff: every time I connect to a server with SSH, Notifications window pops-up with following:


----------
InformationMsg
3/5/2012 12:04:16 PM
IsFilePuttyNg("C:\Program Files (x86)\mRemoteNG_1.70RC1\PuTTYNG.exe") = True
----------

Can't we hide this so that it doesn't come up every time?

thanks,

h

Agreed, I also looked for an option to completely disable this informational message, but it's either in the notifications pane or through a pop-up right now.
Also, I noticed that the issue with not being able to switch through tabs not only happens when using different panels. I also have the issue sometimes when just using multiple tabs, which are all using the general panel (and thus the panel tabs are not shown).
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise, dual monitor, I tried disabling Aero to no avail.

Thanks for the reports. The InformationMsg that pops up is a debugging string that got left in. I believe the other issues stem from hiding the panel tabs. They are only supposed to be hidden if there is one panel, apparently they're getting hidden even if there are multiple panels.
