JollysFastVNC	Sep 3 2009	JOLLY AKA PATRICK LOL :-)))) I hope you don't have real problems though if you have mail me. And there will be a 1.0 version much earlier :-) Patrick aka Jolly (Version 0.98.40)		0

JollysFastVNC	Sep 3 2009	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Well that should not happen. Send me a mail with the logs if possible. Furthermore - does it use the cpu when not the front application. It's a known apple bug that the pulsating button eats up idle cpu and it looks like the program would use cpu like hell even though it's not. Patrick aka Jolly (Version 0.98.40)		0

GRANDLEPTON Hi,

I have tried 0.98.40 again. It eats CPU when it is NOT the frontmost application. The console log saids:

JollysFastVNC	Jul 9 2009	JOLLY AKA PATRICK why did you not mail me about it ? I do not read feedback on every site on the internet. I'll look into it now that I know what to look for. (Version 0.98.28)		0

JollysFastVNC	Oct 7 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK SSH tunneling does work. Currently you have to open the tunnel yourself, future versions will open the tunnel for you. Jolly (Version 0.96.52 (1962))		+5

E_COMMERCE No, it most certainly does not. I've posted before on this, and provided an absurdly simple example.

For a simple case, assume the local computer has no VNC servers running, and is a larger screen resolution than the remote server.

ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 myremoteserver

Connecting with JFVNC to localhost 5900 will yield a window the size of the LOCAL screen, with the server's screen stretched to fit.

This has been ongoing for months. I've deleted prefs files, shut down every VNC server on my network except the one in question, and it still fails miserably. Every other client (Mac, Windows, and even Palm) works perfectly. Only JFVNC fails.

JollysFastVNC	Sep 18 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Well, copy paste works as well as international keyboards with the latest version :-) Jolly aka Patrick (Version 0.96.48 (1929))		+1

JollysFastVNC	Sep 5 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK listening is already there including the ability to open a port on your router automatically.

JollysFastVNC	Apr 14 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Currently that authorization scheme is not supported. As a workaround ( until adding that feature ) use normal VNC authorization on the server. Regards - Jolly (Version 0.96.20)		0

SmartSleep	Mar 15 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Hmmm sounds weird. Send me a mail and I try to solve the problem. Can you set the hibernate level in the shell ? (pmset) Regards Patrick aka Jolly (Version 1.0 (1531))		0

iChatOnLogin	Mar 3 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Why ? Cause you do not have to start up iChat.app which uses a more megabytes of your system memory and still be online. On Leopard iChat has this feature of automatically login me in, but not no Tiger. (Version 1.08)		+3

SESQUIPEDALIAN Ah, so it brings a Leopard-only feature to Tiger.

All the Tiger users should be happy about that, then. Good job.

JollysFastVNC	Feb 26 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK If chicken would be faster, nobody would use JollysFastVNC for sure. What is your setup and and your steps to make this reproduceable as I'm quite certain that JollysFastVNC is the FASTEST VNC CLIENT.

STAR-AFFINITY I think TOURNESOL means when it comes to controlling Windows or any other non Mac OS X computer. Chicken definitely seem faster for me there too.

TOURNESOL I'm on a 3.0 Ghz octocore xeon Mac Pro with 4Gb RAM, the VNC server is accessed on a Gigabit network.

SmartSleep	Feb 26 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK If you have used my other program ( Hibernate.prefPane ) before - that might have set it to 7. Which operating system are you using ? Regards - Patrick aka Jolly (Version 1.0b1)		0

SmartSleep	Feb 25 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK You no longer need that as said in the pmset man page. I'm using it with an encrypted swap the whole time and did not have any problems. Patrick (Version 1.0b1)		0

LYCESTRA Thanks for the correction. I wasn't aware Apple had done that. Still makes me curious why my machine was set to 7.

Works fine on my machine so far (encryption enabled)

SmartSleep	Feb 25 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK As I'm the author of hibernate I do know that. But it apple has changed that behaviour. Apple explicitly says that its no longer using the third bit there. I do use an encrypted swap and have had no problems. Patrick (Version 1.0b1)		0

JollysFastVNC	Feb 18 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Ah, that's a good one. Which server are you using as it seems to be different. Can you e-mail me ? This way support is faster as I' m not reading macupdate all the time. Regards - Patrick aka Jolly (Version 0.96.12)		0

JollysFastVNC	Jan 2 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK use the servertype 'other' (Version 0.96.6)		0
		[ Reply ]

JollysFastVNC	Jan 2 2008	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Try a different VNC server. I'm using ultravnc and tightvnc on windows with very good performance. Some vnc servers are just not capable of handling the requests jollysfastvnc asks them for. Then those SERVERS are SLOW as they don't handle the requests correctly internaly. If JollysFast is slower than any other client on the mac I'm pretty sure that it's the server. Drop me a mail and is can figure that one out. Jolly (Version 0.96.6)		0

JollysFastVNC	Nov 24 2007	JOLLY AKA PATRICK Did you try setting up a new connection just with the ipaddress to figure out what's going on ? JollysFastVNC trys the servers in the order that is shown in the address field. If the first one is a name that can't be resolved it will then try the second one and so forth.

JollysFastVNC	Oct 17 2007	JOLLY AKA PATRICK does the 'keyboard layout' setting of 'other' not work ? That changes the use of the 2nd. and 3rd. button. ( maybe I should name it ARD vs. other ) Patrick aka Jolly (Version 0.94b)		0

JollysFastVNC	Oct 10 2007	JOLLY AKA PATRICK When the servers crash it's probably no JFVNC's fault, more a problem on the server side as JFVNC just asks for updates. Can you send me a mail which servers you are using ? Thanx in advance Jolly (Version 0.94b)		0

JollysFastVNC	Oct 2 2007	JOLLY AKA PATRICK nope, that is not known. It normally works. It is known though that some servers can't cope with the update requests they are getting. Send me an e-mail as I do not look here in regular intervals. Regards - Jolly aka Patrick (Version 0.92)		0

JollysFastVNC	Sep 7 2007	JOLLY AKA PATRICK definition ? Currently JollysFastVNC scales the remote desktop to the size you choose by resizing the window . CMD -1 will set it to 1:1 resolution. CMD-0 to 2:1 and CMD-2 to 1:2 Bonjour annouced servers will automatically beeing shown (and autoconnected if you want). Jolly (Version 0.86a)		0

NEIL_M What I mean by definition is sharpness/clarity of the icons and text on the remote machine.

Jolly is much faster and that more than compensates for the difference.
