The main window can have one or more tabs, dependant on whether the files needed for that tab exist in the package. Shown here is the SC tab. session codes can be also loaded from INI, meaning less for clients to have to do to get connected.

The Viewer can be setup to connect to SC or Collaboration servers for support or presentations respectively (collaboration tab not shown)

Advanced Debugging, allows you to diagnose problems easily and quickly when needed, by simply changing a setting in the INI file (enable debugging)

When connected, a MINI GUI similar to that shown below is enabled, and the main GUI is hidden. This can be changed using the Tray Menu

VNC2Me SC 0.2 Beta released

VNC2Me SC 0.2 has been released. (available in the SC downloads section)

This update is a complete re-write of the core code, to handle several key bugs:

1. GUI unresponsive when buttons pressed on older computers (buttons, tray menu and all GUI are now checked 50x more often than other functions)
2. No ability to use application without SSH (code is yet to be written to allow this, but the structure is there for it now)
3. Event driven responses where hard to add and maintain (new code runs on the events, with most of the none event code placed in functions to allow easier maintenance)

This update enables many new features, including:

1. Automatic Language selection based on locale (provided locale translation and codes exist in the INI)
2. Ability to hide tabs when not wanted (INI setting, which will not show tab, even if relevant file exists)
3. "MAIN_ENABLE_DEBUG" parameter in INI now enables/disables debug output to windows debugger. making the application a bit faster (less DLL calls)
4. many MANY minor improvements to GUI, and behind the scenes allowing for smoother, simpler operation.

Feature that are under development:

1. Collaboration Server - this is 90% complete, all GUI modifications are done, with minor launching problems still occurring.
2. Application launching structure which will allow an application to be downloaded and launched on the remote computer, without controlling it, just by clicking some buttons on the viewers computer.

Translations revisited ...

VNC2Me now allows translation to ANY language supported by MS Windows.

These things happen if you wake up in the middle of the night with a head full of code (yep, THAT IS how much of a geek I am), and can't go back to sleep until its working.

Everything that needs to be changed for translation into currently (and future) supported languages, can be done from the INI, by setting up the locale(s) and language in the INI file (as well as the translating everything).

This means that most of what I said in the the earlier "Translate VNC2Me" How-to article, has been rewritten.

Now anyone can translate vnc2me, but will they help us help others ???

if you want to help, let us know, as we can always use a new translator (or twenty).

Getting the latest source code (SVN Checkout)

NOTE: the code you get from the SVN may not even work, let alone be stable

VNC2Me uses the Sourceforge SVN, to ensure source is available well into the future.

Windows users need to install some software, please follow these steps to begin:

1. Download Tortoise SVN and follow the prompts to install (default settings have always worked for me)
2. create a new directory in which to store the files.
3. Right mouse click on the new directory and select "SVN Checkout"
4. enter the address https://vnc2me.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vnc2me into the "URL of repository" field.
5. Make sure "HEAD Revision" is selected, and click "OK"
6. Wait till all files are received (may take some time).

Further assistance with Tortoise SVN can be found on SF.net
