Improvements
When showing Close ISL Light session dialog offer to close whole session also. Also warn user when:
- audio is active,
- video is active,
- file transfer is active.
When viewing remote desktop put computer name to view title bar.
Instance number should be present in title bar in case instance > 1 in all windows that are opened by ISL Light.
3D CAD applications don't refresh desktop streaming regularly. We have implemented additional types of hooks that cause streaming of OpneGL applications accurately.
When you have two monitors or big screen resolution and somebody is watching you the problem is that the zoom is low - you can not see clearly.
You are able to select which monitor to stream on showing side.
All tray icons should be merged to one tray icon. Also add minimize to tray option to desktop sharing view window.
One should be able to specify it own skin for ISL Light. The customization package in zip file defines all skins.
One should be able to specify command line options in customizations.
Command line option --on-connect "desktop?control=disable" causes desktop sharing with disabled "keyboard and mouse control" functionality.
Single message box should be displayed when there are too many concurrent connections with link to Conference Proxy page where one can stop existing connections.
The options "--aon" causes that custom dialogs are not shown.
After the streaming side goes to different desktop (ie. from default to screen saver desktop) ISL View is activated and resize to maximum size. Size of ISL View should be preserved.
Similarly man ISL Light dialog is restored when new chat message is received. The dialog should stay minimized.
When user clicks close connection it can take some time before connection and GUI really closes. Waiting for other side to respond shutdown should be implemented on server.
When ISL Light Client / Desk is minimized to tray and connection is inactive, messages are repeated several times and this causes tray balloon to become huge. Same messages should be ignored and should not be displayed in balloon.
Enabling restart and resume in desktop streaming is enabled with connect event admin=restart.
Example of command:
--on-connect "desktop?show&control&admin=restart"
Connect with AON from Vista with "sl" keyboard to XP with "sl" keyboard. Follow procedure:
- open notepad on home,
- press left win key (when focus on ISL View),
- try to type l.
This produces two ll.
Switching focus away from ISL View, pressing left windows key and switching back to ISL View corrects the problem.
On Windows 2000 (some service packs) CreateProcess is limited to MAX_PATH cmd line. Command line options should be rerouted to file and read from file afterwards.
When desk control is requested from the opposite side, the top bar shows very slowly. Until it is not shown in full, it is taking the focus.
If user make a request for allowing desktop control VERY FAST after requesting the view, the "allowing desktop" dialog box is presented without focus and cannot be handled with simple <Enter> key, but only with mouse.
When the top bar appears completely, tho focus properly goes to the desktop control dialog box(after 3-5 seconds).
Tray bubble is shown in wrong location when taskbar has auto hide flag set. It shows in top left corner instead of right bottom corner.
On Windows Vista run Desk and file transfer. Minimize both dialogs to tray. From this point on one dialog will always stay in tray and will not be to restored back.
When Client reconnected back to same session during restart and resume procedure "downloading plugins" dialog might stay in start bar.
Start ISL Light Desk or Client, the right click the Settings button and select Language option. Observe the list of languages. Click the Settings button, select "selected language" option. Compare listed languages with those from right click of the settings button.
Lists should be equal.
Connect ISL Light Desk and Client and start file transfer synchronization on client side. On desk side wait at select folder dialog - dialogs title in start bar is invalid.
When starting ISL Light Desk from url with cmdline parameters for starting file transfer only chat history notification is displayed, but transfer is not started.
Example url:
http://www.islonline.net/users/start?name=ISL+Light+Desk&cmdline=--on-connect "file_transfer?transfer=c:\tmp\isllight\TestTransfer.GHS"
Open and then close Settings dialog while connected. This action will result in "lost" focus.
During desktop switch there is 3s delay in desktop control.
On windows 2000 without SP4 API function "LoadUserProfile" might take long time to complete. This causes desktop sharing and connection to "hang". Functions that handle user environment and registry should’t be used.
When files are dropped into ISL Light dialog very quickly message plugin is incompatible is displayed. This happens because file transfer plugin is not yet fully loaded on both sides.
End of session dialog that is set on client and desk is shown only on desk and not on client side.
Connect:
- login on computer (Windows XP)

Problems:
- if caps lock IS NOT pressed you can press Windows+R to run, but :
- when entering into notepad keys are UPPER CASE
- when press CTRL+C on firefox opens CSS
- when caps lock is pressed on UME
- windows+R does not work...
The defect was fixed.
Windows XP start ISL Light Desk with command line parameter --on-connect "desktop?show&control&admin". Request code.
Windows Vista start ISL Light Client and connect them. Allow client to see & control ISL Light Desk's Desktop.
The view should be in Admin mode, but it is not. Debug log is showing the following error:
Mon Apr 14 15:50:35 2008 service init_admin not valid (0)
Mon Apr 14 15:50:35 2008 can start admin mode 1
The defect is fixed.
Remote computer should be on the ISL AlwaysOn list.
Start ISL Light Desk & Client; Connect, request view & control. Select Tools / Admin mode and Tools / restart & resume. Restart remote computer. When remote computer is off line, quit ISL Light Desk. Wait until remote computer reboots. Under the Login screen mode an error appears: ISL Light Error: "Streznik ISLLight-*-islonline.net sporoca napako: prosimo vnesite pravilno kodo seje". Ignore the error (don't press ok) Try to connect to the remote computer through ISL AlwaysOn. An error message appears: "Delitev namizja: nadgradnja prikazovanja namizja z administrativnimi pravicami ni uspela: ni dovolj pravic. Confirm that both messages were seein (press "OK" on both) and login to the remote computer. ISLLight Client does not appear any more; but it still runs under the system account, so for all procedures regarding ISL Light you switch user or logoff to see it. In the ISL View mode Toos / Administrative mode / Enable Restart and Resume is also not possible
The defect is fixed.
While transferring large text file bps in progress dialog is wrong.
While doing normal restart and resume sequence the XP refuses to reveal user token (WTSQueryUserToken returns error 0x6bb). This in turn causes endless loop in restart/resume sequence.
Fixed with additional alternative function that tries to get the token.
While starting and canceling multiple file transfers cleanup code might cause deadlock of ISL Light.
After a client was redirected to a different server and the server stopped, client didn't reconnect back to the session.
Connect with ISL Light Desk and Client and start desktop sharing. Select Tools / Zoom / Full Screen. The remote desktop will be displayed in full screen mode with ISL Light Desk on top. Minimize desk to tray.
Full screen mode will be restored to the normal view.
Connect with ISL Light Desk and Client, start file transfer - synchronization (right click the file to be transferred and drag it into the Desk GUI, select "synchronize" option).
On the client side File transfer - synchronization text is shown, but is cut somewhere in the middle.
On some German XP restart/resume and admin mode functionality stopped working. Problem reported by the windows is invalid executable provided for service process.
Problem was fixed in create service code.
