From a UI point of view it would be much clearer if the Execute button was within the tab, so it was clear it applied just to that tab. You are right.

I go to start quicksynergy however it never starts. Running 10.4.11 I also have this problem. I downloaded the dmg and dragged the app to my application folder. I go to start quicksynergy however it never starts. Running 10.4.11 Dec 16, 2009 issue 8 (Snow Leopard Support) reported by Tcole13 - What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Normal install 2. Set Linux as Host 3. enter Linux box IP as the Server 4. No love What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I may be missing something here but I use Quicksynergy on both my Linux and Snow Leopard (Now Snow) machines. Does anyone know if it works with Snow? Do I need to complie for 64 bit? What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest Download Quicksynergy 1.2 no both Snow Leopard (Mac) and Ubuntu 9.10(dell) What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.

It continues to feel like if you don't have access to a Captain Crunch Decoder Ring for every little thing you might want to do 'in' or 'to' the system you are out of luck. You are either part of the club or your out. This one little issue with QuickSynergy just further substantiates that feeling. Sorry for cranking off here, but seriously - the 'movement' wants folks to dump all things Windows and add to the numbers of Ubuntu/Linux - and I want that too. But were is the support? I feels like everything - AND I MEAN... ...E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G... ...is just a little left-of-center enough to confuse the ever-living-sh out of those of us trying to leave the likes of Micro$oft - but where is the welcome mat? This button is just one more programmatic assumption that the rest of us just 'get it'. I think we can all agree - as evidenced here - that ain't so. I be quiet now. Just hate having wasted 3 friggin' hours scratching my head against a brick wall. Sincerely and without hesitation, Max Laing, D. MP CEO / Project Development ActionCore, Inc.

Nov 25, 2009 issue 7 (Unable to set Relative Mouse Moves or Screen Saver Sync) reported by BrodyHasAnAccount - To use synergy with certain games running on a client machine, relativeMouseMoves must be set in the synergy.conf file. Currently quicksynergy overwrites this file each time execute is pressed. Attached is a patch file that contains mods to the settings tab to enable/disable relative mouse moves, and screen saver sync.

Earlier this year Nov 05, 2009 issue 6 (Generated config file needs aliases section) commented on by darksin1 - Had the same problem but found this post after I've made my own patch Any way here's the code so you may choose which to apply Had the same problem but found this post after I've made my own patch Any way here's the code so you may choose which to apply Sep 26, 2009 issue 2 (Peculiar Configuration help) commented on by christopher.ryan.thompson - I second the notion, but suggest perhaps an easier alternative that doesn't clutter the simple interface. I have a non-standard setup as well, and noticed that it seems as though the ~/.quicksynergy/synergy.conf file is written upon pressing the 'Execute' button. (Removing write privileges from the file crashes QuickSynergy upon execution.) My humble suggestion is to separate the writing configuration file(s) into a 'Save' button. That way the quick-and-easy spirit of QuickSynergy is preserved, and those of us with more advanced configurations can manually edit the configuration as necessary, while retaining a convenient way to launch synergy from a GUI.

Sep 17, 2009 issue 6 (Generated config file needs aliases section) reported by kopsis - Sharing on Mac OS X 10.5.8 ... On my system the server won't start because the hostname that the GUI app gets from the NS* APIs and puts in the config file doesn't match the hostname that the server gets from posix APIs. I was able to fix this by modifying the config file generation code in the GUI to include an alias section. My patch to do this is attached. So far it's working great on my machine :) BTW - Thanks for this great little app! Sharing on Mac OS X 10.5.8 ...

Move the mouse to the edge of the Host screen- it should now appear on the client screen Aug 19, 2009 issue 3 (Not transfering mouse clicks) Status changed by otavio - Hi bdmorin. As QuickSynergy is only a launcher for synergy2 (after writing down the synergy2 configuration file), I think this issue should be reported at synergy2 website: synergy2.sourceforge.net. Please, let me know if you have any concerns. Thanks for using QuickSynergy. Status: Invalid Hi bdmorin.

The mouse moves to the windows system, but no keyboard/mouseclick actions are carried over. I have verbose logging turned on but do not see anything to indicate a problem. On a "mousedown" event, the action is carried out locally at the Mac, and any movement while the mousebutton is down is carried out on the MAC. Occasionally I can get keyboard control to transfer over, but not reliably. I am running synergy client on a win32 system, and quicksynergy on a 10.5.7 OSX.

In my case I have Quicksynergy running as the server to the right side of three client machines. I know I can just change the parameters in the config file directly, but I'm sure options for non-standard setups would be well-received. Great work though!

RunningQuickSynergy (How-to configure and use QuickSynergy) Wiki page commented on by maxlaing - Oh - and color me silly, but shouldn't they make the execute button reflect something along the lines of 'Execute Share' and 'Execute Use' - or is that one of those secret 'linux' things like everything else in the 'not Windows' platform. It continues to feel like if you don't have access to a Captain Crunch Decoder Ring for every little thing you might want to do 'in' or 'to' the system you are out of luck. You are either part of the club or your out. This one little issue with QuickSynergy just further substantiates that feeling. Sorry for cranking off here, but seriously - the 'movement' wants folks to dump all things Windows and add to the numbers of Ubuntu/Linux - and I want that too. But were is the support? I feels like everything - AND I MEAN... ...E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G... ...is just a little left-of-center enough to confuse the ever-living-sh** out of those of us trying to leave the likes of Micro$oft - but where is the welcome mat? This button is just one more programmatic assumption that the rest of us just 'get it'. I think we can all agree - as evidenced here - that ain't so. I be quiet now. Just hate having wasted 3 friggin' hours scratching my head against a brick wall. Sincerely and without hesitation, Max Laing, D. MP CEO / Project Development ActionCore, Inc.
