I see that a recent nightly has removed the windows GUI tasktray app and replaced it with another app that can be used to launch the GUI.
Here's some questions/points: 1. What happens with security? When the slimtray app started, it asked for the username and password, and when launching the browser it doesn't request the credentials. If I just start the browser directly and enter the url, it also doesn't ask for the credentials. If I enter my WAN IP addr to access my site, it does require the password. Is that how it has always worked - that a local intranet machine doesn't require a password, but internet connections do require it? 2. Although the previous app had its problems, I find it much more useful that the current feature. Is there going to be a warning that a new installation will replace the previous app? If not, are there plans to provide an archive of the previous slimserver.exe app on the slimdevices website? I notice that the previous app is still installed after I upgraded, so I just quit the current slimtray app and ran the slimserver.exe back up ;) However, if I need to do a clean install, I'd like to get the slimserver.exe back. 3. All the current feature really provides is an icon to launch the default browser for the slimserver url. I can achieve the same by putting an icon on the desktop/quicklaunch/etc. Slimserver.exe only requires a single click to bring the app up, and the app dissapears from taskbar when minimised. Slimtray requires a double click, takes longer to come up, and isn't hidden when minimised, so using this I prefer to close the window, but then have the longer startup and have to navigate back to where I was last browsing. Also the default browser window has more clutter, with all the various browser toolbars, etc. Phil _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
