Create a new Ext. App with the following properties:
Display Name: DameWare
Filename: c:\PathToYourDameWareInstallDir\DWRCC.exe
Arguments: -c: -h: -m:%hostname% -u:%username% -p:"%password%" -d:%domain%
Options: Try to integrate
Create a new connection and select Ext. App as protocol

Type regsvr32 scvncctrl.dll and click ok
- Changed shortcuts and added buttons for them to the view menu under "Jump To" because they were causing several problems

So if you want to see better VNC support (All UltraVNC, TightVNC and RealVNC functions) in mRemote, please help me and donate some bucks
For donations either go to the mRemote Wiki (Info - Website) or click on Info - Donate to directly go to PayPal

1.00 is a (almost) complete rewrite of the whole application
The code base is now much cleaner and more (easily) extendable
New features include (but are not limited to):
Every part of the application is now integrated into panels which can be moved, docked and undocked, hidden, moved to another monitor, etc.
This makes many new and exciting ways to manage connection and application windows possible
You can for example open up 4 PuTTY sessions in 4 different panels and align them in the main application so you can use all 4 side by side - 2 on the upper side and 2 on the bottom for example
This can be done for EVERY part of the application, it's completely modular and customizable
Connection and folder (previously called containers) properties have moved to a new property grid control
Every setting (with the exclusion of the hostname, which wouldn't make any sense) can now be inherited from the parent folder
Connection file saving/loading is now handled a bit different (more in the help section)
Application restart is no longer nececary after changing options, they are active with a click of the OK button
Smart size can now be activated also if a connection is already open (in the right click menu of the active tab)
A panel name can be stored with every connection (or folder, if inherting) to always open the connection in the specified panel
And last but not least, many bugs have been fixed, though there are probably many new bugs aswell - Did I already mention this is a rewrite? ;)
I hope you like my work and if you do please consider donating on the mRemote website to support me a little. Any amount will do! Thx!
- Added possibility to change resolution or display mode (Fit to window, Fullscreen, Smart size)
- Added new setting in options to show logon info on tab titles
- Added new feature that catches popup dialogs and puts them in a managed interface. This is another step to make mRemote a single window application.
- Added QuickConnect history and auto-complete functions
- Added a few new Icons (Linux, Windows, ESX, Log, Finance)
- Pressing escape switches back to the connection list
- There is a context menu that allows you to copy selected errors/warnings/infos to the clipboard (text only) or to delete them
- There also are settings in the option to change when to switch to the tab and to switch back to the normal behaviour of displaying message popups
- Connections file version is now 1.2
- Removed old Terminal (SSH, Telnet) control and embedded PuTTY instead
This decision brings mostly good but also some bad news
The good news is that now everything that works in putty also works in mRemote
This means X11 forwarding, SSH port forwarding, session logging, appearance customization, etc. should be working fine now
It also brings some new protocols (Rlogin, RAW)
The bad news is that I cannot fully integrate Putty into mRemote because it is a standalone application and thus has it's own window handle
This means that you won't be able to use Ctrl+Tab to switch between tabs, catching errors or infos through the new Errors and Infos tab isn't possible, etc.
