I was honestly unaware that this option even existed! Assuming that it works as
advertised, I have to think that it would be greatly preferred over the VNC
approach for most situations. Just double-click an icon and open the Rivendell
module. No remote ‘desktop’ at all for the Windows user to have to futz around
with. I do this sort of thing routinely from remote Linux systems, and it works
very well indeed.
Nice catch. Thank you!
Cheers!
