Re: Kickstarting the rdesktop project

Basic things working (e.g. TS licensing) wins out over GUI methinks.
Especially getting a GUI working on Linux, MacOSX etc.  We'd have to
spent 5 years bashing our complete lack of resources to make something
which by then wouldn't support Windows 2015 R2 .net Service Pack 7.

Hi Kevin,

I am basing my request on the endless hours I have burned up trying
to get the syntax correct on all the features I want to implement.
I especially lose all kinds of time over the "-r" redirects.

I though of asking for a GUI after working with CoRD
(cord.sourceforge.net)
over on the Apple side (the now corrected rdesktop "lpr" problem nailed
me).  With CoRD I can configure up a session in under a half a minute.

A GUI would be a kindness to all us klutzes.

Okay, now on the printer redirects, does the clients printer go
first or the TS's printer?  And, where do the single and double
quotes go?  Aw %&@#, got it backwards again!  Oh man, the user
renamed the printer, again, and I have to go into Printer Properties
to get the real name of the printer.   (Hour after hour after hour.)
