I love SmartCode VNC Server.

One problem I have is the desire to connect to the same server, sometimes in interactive mode, and other times in view only mode. Currently, it is difficult to do so without either creating two server connections or risking triggering input. It would be great to have the option via keystroke/toolbar button/context menu to connect to a VNC server in view-only mode.

I may be missing something, but it seems like you have two options for view-only connections:

1. Setup the server connection as "View only (input ignored)" (must create two separate connections to each server or change the setting each time);
2. Connect in standard input-permitted fashion, then switch to "View Only Mode" via menu or toolbar. This could allow mouse movement or other input to the remote server before the mode is switched.

The ideal solution would be a keystroke/toolbar button/context menu option that would connect in read-only mode. The current "View Only Mode" option could then toggle the modes.

I hope that makes sense.

It does make perfect sense. We will implement this feature request in v4.0. I'm not sure if it's going to be implemented as a separate context menu entry or maybe you would just have keep Shift key pressed with establishing connection. But one way or another, this feature will be implemented.



Kindest Regards,
