Improvements
The status column in ISL AlwaysOn computer list ( Computers list tab ) can now be hidden. Users can hide it by right clicking on the table header and unselecting status item.
Certain context menu items in File Manager have been renamed in order to improve understanding of certain actions.
Transfer was renamed to Transfer to remote when transferring from local machine
Transfer was renamed to Transfer to local when transferring from remote machine
Open was renamed to Show in folder if single item is selected
Computer share dialog was redesigned. It includes a new column that shows which permission the user that the computer is shared to has. Apart from new column also a tip was added which suggests to use sharing via computer groups instead of sharing computer directly.
The ISL Light branding.ini file was redesigned to include helpful information about what each of the colors affect.
ISL Light allows the operator to view logs on the remote computer. An issue was discovered when both the operator and the client had their operating system's language set to Japanese and the operator was running macOS. The remote log refused to open due to unsupported characters. Now invalid characters are replaced with '?'.
The defect was fixed.
During a session ISL Light allows users to check remote system's information by clicking System Information. An issue was discovered regarding the button as a single click would not suffice if focus was not already set on ISL Light. This has been fixed and the button always requires only a single click, even if focus is not on ISL Light.
The defect was fixed.
When users were performing search for computers using IME type of input, the search was started before the text was composed, thus resulting in a search being performed on incorrect search string. Handling of IME type of input was redesigned, search is only performed after the text is composed and applied ( pressing enter on the selection ).
The defect was fixed.
The buttons in dialog which is presented when a user connects to his own computer were renamed to show which action will be spawned. The buttons were renamed from Yes/No to View/Cancel.
The defect was fixed.
In previous versions of ISL Light, the status of connection was shown based on the data obtained from the server. Due to delay some status was incorrect displayed ( showing connected even though the session was already stopped ). ISL Light will now use local status for the connection to remote computers. In case of pressing refresh button, the data will be again obtained from server.
The defect was fixed.
When connected to ISLAlwaysOn computer an issue occurred when Sending files with option Try to synchronize checked. The transfer failed every time as ISLAlwaysOn did not know how to handle such a request. Support for File Synhronization has been added to ISLAlwaysOn.
The defect was fixed.
When the "Lock computer when session ends" checkbox was checked in the ISL AlwaysOn settings and the user connected to that ISL AlwaysOn computer using the ISL Light, the end of the session dialog did not reflect that setting. Instead, the "Lock computer" checkbox at the end of the session dialog in the ISL Light was always unchecked. Now, in case that the "Lock computer when session ends" setting is enabled, the "Lock computer" checkbox will be checked and its checked state cannot be changed. There will also be the text that indicates that this setting was inherited from the remote computer.
The defect was fixed.
When connecting to an ISL AlwaysOn computer, users were presented with "Share my Screen" option in Monitor dropdown. This option is now disabled when connecting to an ISL AlwaysOn computer since remote side does not have ability to show view of remote desktop.
The defect was fixed.
In certain cases the event log did not show the correct icon for certain events (i.e. deny icon should be shown instead of view folder icon). Handling of data was redesigned, correct icon should now be displayed for the events in the event log.
The defect was fixed.
End session dialog when ending session from dashboard offered two choices: Yes and Cancel. Yes button was renamed to End.
The defect was fixed.
When clicking multiple monitor button in toolbar, the second window had multiple monitor button missing from the toolbar. The button reappeared if second window was resized. Handling of display of toolbar in the newly opened window was redesigned, button should appear without resizing the window.
The defect was fixed.
When dialog for creating new tunnel was opened for the first time the JSON tunnel rule was empty. Functionality for creating a new tunnel was redesigned, the JSON tunnel rule should be populated when opening the dialog for the first time.
The defect was fixed.
Users experienced an issue with the drawing tool on ISL Light when connected on Linux. When drawing lines on the remote computer the last line would not get cleared due to a bug in the underlying X11 protocol. This caused ISL Light to steal mouse control rendering the user unable to operate their machine after the session had ended.
The defect was fixed.
Selected item in dropdown was not highlighted when using arrow keys to navigate in the dropdown menu in move a computer to computer group dialog. Handling of keyboard navigation was redesigned, selected item should now be correctly highlighted when moving through the dropdown using the up/down arrow keys.
The defect was fixed.
Users on macOS and Linux were unable to use mouse wheel to scroll when connected to a remote computer. The issue was in handling of mouse wheel action. Handling was redesigned, users should now be able to scroll on remote computer using mouse wheel.
The defect was fixed.
