APE Viewer 0.6.0

Update APE Viewer on both PCs: the one you connect from and the one you connect to.

A new look

  • APE Viewer is redesigned from top to bottom: calmer, denser and easier to scan.
  • Your PCs is now a list with the details beside it. Pick screens on the map, choose how each one opens, and connect from the same page.
  • Hosting is built around people: who's connected now, and what each person can see and do.
  • In a stream, a compact toolbar at the top replaces the floating button and the big menu. It hides itself, and every button has a tooltip with its shortcut. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M still shows it.

Send and get files

  • Drop files or folders on a stream window to send them to the PC you're connected to. Or use Files > Send files… in the toolbar.
  • Files > Get files from brings files over from that PC's Desktop, Documents or Downloads.
  • The person at the PC can send you files too: Hosting > Connected now > Send files….
  • Files arrive in Downloads\APE Viewer, and Windows treats them like downloaded files.
  • File transfer is a permission per person, and nobody gets it until you turn it on for them (Hosting > People & permissions), not even with Full control. Your own devices always can.
  • When the PC sends you files you didn't ask for, you choose whether to accept them.
  • The stream keeps its frame rate while files move, because transfers slow down when the picture needs the bandwidth.

Share only some apps

  • Let someone see only the apps you choose, like sharing a window on a call. They see those windows and nothing else of your desktop.
  • Turn it on in Hosting > People & permissions > the person > Only these apps, then tick the apps.
  • Their mouse and keyboard reach only those windows. Ctrl+Alt+Del and file transfer are off for them.
  • Sound and the clipboard are for the whole PC, not per app.

Also

  • Everything from 0.5.15: drawing on the screen, Ctrl+Alt+Del as its own permission, screens per person, reconnecting after a drop, and Premium turning on within a minute.

It needs APE Viewer 0.6.0 on both PCs for files and app-only sharing. Older versions keep working together as before.

Update from the app (Update button) or download APEViewerSetup.exe below.
