I haven't started testing with Windows 8 yet. Logs are in %userprofile%\appdata\Local\mRemoteNG.

I just did some testing and it works on Windows 8 if you use standard PuTTY instead of PuTTYNG which is bundled with mRemoteNG 1.70.

I have encountered an issue with importing the connections xml file after upgrading from 1.69 to 1.70b2
i had a backup taken previously and when importing it was ok but when opening connections the panels have now disappeared.

Thanks very much for this. The crashing with 3 connections open was driving us crazy.
I have only one more small issue with this version, and that's the fact that the first (Default) panel is hidden from view if it's the only one used, until a new one is opened.
This causes resizing of the sessions in that first panel.
I'd very much appreciate the option to enable mRemoteNG to show the first panel by default as well, just as it was in the earlier versions.

Click View->Reset layout to get all the panels back.

I wasn't going to add an option for this unless someone gave me a good reason. The resizing issue is definitely a good reason. I will make this feature optional.

Still see MR-313(https://mremoteng.atlassian.net/browse/MR-313) when using latest version of Kitty(both portable and regular) instead of PuttyNG.exe. Can't modify the default settings without it undocking the sessions.

Strange. That seems to be a timing issue. Is it taking KiTTY longer than 5 seconds to start up?
