quicksynergy - issue #2

Peculiar Configuration help


Posted on Aug 14, 2009 by Swift Ox

Is there any way to configure a setup with 3+ clients where quicksynergy is the server? 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!

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.

i am NO expert, but i was wondering whether you could not run synergy on the middle one, as a server, with the one on the left as client, then run another synergy (open it up again which i know is possible on linux not sure on wndows) with he one on the right as the server and then th one n the middle as the cient, Just an idea, but i cant try it out, because i only have two achines :)
