Would be far more useful if it could load a "saved connection" (settings file) rather than simply launch the RDC app into its default state. Running multiple instances is about the only helpful thing it does so far.

Have you guys tried using apps like R-HUB remote support servers? If not, kindly try the same. It works on Windows, MAC, Android, iOS etc.

I purchased this app when i was running Tiger and it worked great. Then upgraded to Leopard. RDC stopped functioning. So i wrote the developer, but no response. Today I noticed an updated version, stating Leopard support. Unfortunately I am still having the same issue which is "invalid file name" when the app is launched and the inability to create bookmarks. Would also like to say that since this is not a cheap utility the developers should respond to their customers emails.

Not sure why I'd pay for this when I can just right click on a folder in my dock that contains all my reconfigured RDC connection files.

Nice little utility. Too bad it went from freeware to crippleware. Bookmarks are nice.. but not $25 dollars nice. For $25 dollars I'd expect to get an actual remote desktop client, not jut a utility that runs the old MS version. This whole utility would be worthless if it were easier to run multiple copies of the same program from the Finder. I mean, that is all this utility does, after all.

This is great, but I would also like to recommend adding the ability to launch and connect to various servers. That would make this perfect instead of just really handy.

Cool!! I'm so used to manually duplicating the RDC application and then launching it twice that this will help out tremendously. It would be nice if it listed the recent connections from the RDC client and allowed you to automatically connect to a selected one, but I'm not sure if that's even possible. The only really bad part about this handy app is the menubar icon -- which simply sucks. It's pixelated and doesn't match the other monochromatic menubar icons. I made a replacement icon though, which you can download here: http://www.kiddailey.org/files/other/RDCMenuIcon.zip Only downside is that it's a tiff, so it doesn't have the white "onclick" state that png icons have (or, at least I can't figure out how to make it work with tiff).
