Finally, the Control service fully supports Drag and Drop. For example, you can
drag a file out of the screen-sharing window and onto your own desktop.
Screen-Sharing Window
The screen-sharing window, in which you can Control and Observe remote com-
puters, has been built to allow you the most flexibility and speed possible. The
screen-sharing window supports multiple grayscale and color-depth options, and
it provides scroll-wheel and multi-button mouse support.
The screen-sharing window includes a number of other features:
•
During screen-sharing sessions, clicking the right mouse button (right-click-
ing) sends an old-style CTRL+click to host computers running older versions
of Timbuktu Pro.
•
In the New Connection window, pressing CMD+ARROW switches connection
tabs only if the SHIFT or OPTION keys are not also pressed. When the guest
computer switches monitors during a screen-sharing session, the connection
tab is not accidentally changed on the host computer.
•
When you press the TAB key on the guest computer, it is sent to the host com-
puter even when Full Keyboard Access is turned on. System-menu keyboard
commands are also sent to the host computer.
•
A 1.5-second delay occurs when you attempt to drag-and-drop from the
screen-sharing window onto your desktop. This prevents “accidental” drag-
and-drops. If you release the mouse button during the delay, drag-and-drop
will not occur.
QuickTime Support
You can record QuickTime movies of your screen-sharing sessions. Simply click
the QuickTime icon on the border of the screen-sharing window.
•
You may record QuickTime movies using compressors other than the Anima-
tion codec from Apple.
•
When recording a QuickTime movie, you may specify the name and location
of the saved file before you begin recording. This allows you to save the re-
cording in a location with more disk space or onto a server.
•
When you specify the save-file settings, you may also change the video and
sound recording settings. In addition, your changes are saved for future re-
cording sessions.
•
The cursor is recorded in QuickTime movies, as are the sounds played on the
guest computer during the screen-sharing session.
