Patch for adding 32 bit color depth option to RDP connection

2012-02-28T13:04:42Z

Patch adds an option of 32 bit option to color depth for RDP connection, which is expected in Bug ID: 2829851. While writing the patch, I also find that the color depth value choosen does not get saved in the .config/tsclient/connections.<title>.tsc file. As a result, if same connection is opened for editing next time, the default value for color depth is always 24 irrespective of what was being selected while creating the connection and this value was not getting passed while establishing the connection to the remote client.

Patch has improved the color depth functionality in the following ways:

1] It saves the color-depth value to .tsc file created for the connection. If user does not bother to modify the Advanced Options in the window, default (which is currently set to 32) is saved in the file.

2] Next time user tries to edit the connection, appropriate value is active/set in the color depth (bitdepth_combo, program id for the same) combo box based on what was set previously.

3] Value of color depth selected is passed to the connection (as -a <color-depth-vale>). For default -a 32 is passed.

4] With all the above, it takes care of the problem mentioned in Bug ID: 2829851

tsclient fails to build with glib 2.31

2011-12-01T11:38:02Z

Since glib 2.31, including any header than glib.h (plus some exceptions) is no longer possible.
Headers are indirectly implicit included by glib.h

The attached patch fixes what's needed.

RDP: Add support for printer redirects

2011-09-19T09:51:18Z

This patch adds two more fields in the "Advanced settings" block, where you can define local CUPS printer name and (optionally) the Windows driver name RDP will use for setting up this printer. The rdesktop program will then be called with the extra argument: -r printer:$CUPSNAME[="$DRIVERNAME"]

Allow passing hostname to rdesktop

2011-04-14T07:31:58Z

The unstable branch's version of tsclient has no apparent means of passing the client hostname to rdesktop. This is a regression with respect to the stable branch.

This becomes a problem for users that have to specify a client hostname to avoid the bogus "No valid license available" message that the terminal server spits out after many connects - specifying a bogus client hostname is the only way to make further connections to the server.

Fix for very annoying unsorted quick list.

Quick should be quick. Right?

RDP keyboard layout support

2011-03-18T16:46:51Z

I modified tsclient today to add keyboard layout settings. I did not check this tracker for other fixes until afterwards, which was kind of silly of me.

I found this one: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2777130&group_id=192483&atid=941576 ... However, that's a pretty massive change set with "no changes" (most probably white space stuff). The version I wrote is practically doing the same, but the patch is looking cleaner.

Feel free to reject this one if the other one is better.
