Oops, forgot to write this up on Friday when it was released. RD Tabs 2.1.5 is available and automatic updates is back on. So if you had 2.1.2, you will notice you are now getting an update notification for 2.1.5. The installation sequence is very stable so far in tests, which was the biggest thing I was worried about in 2.1.3 and 2.1.4. Here are the links and the changelog will follow! Enjoy!

- RD Tabs now will let you launch Microsoft's Terminal Services Manager from the "Tools" menu for features not available in Remote Computer Information. If you are running Vista with UAC enabled, you will automatically be prompted to elevate to an administrator account. XP and non-UAC computers may have limited functionality unless RD Tabs is running under an administrator account as well (which is not recommended). The work-around, of course, is to "Run As" the command manually for elevation, which is tsadmin.exe, located under System32. Note that if tsadmin.exe is not found, RD Tabs will not show this tool under under the "Tools" menu.
- New feature: You can now choose to scale a higher resolution desktop down to the size of the current tab pane, instead having to rely on scrollbars. This is a feature in the Remote Desktop API that I completely missed (it's been there for quite some time), but it was very easy to implement and very handy, so it's a part of 2.1's feature list now! In case you are confused, this basically lets you keep the same resolution remote desktop while resizing RD Tabs to any size you want. So your remote desktop connection may be 1024x768, but if RD Tabs is only 400x200, the remote desktop will be shrunk down to fit.
- Fixed some typos
- Fixed the icon for "New Detached (Floating) Tab panel" in some windows that didn't have the correct icon.
- Fixed a bug in Remote Computer Information where when UAC was enabled it would sometimes incorrectly report an "invalid credentials" error, even after an elevated Remote Computer Information launches successfully.
- Fixed a bug where the MRU for remote computers did not work in the favorites editor (the MRU list was empty).
- New feature: There is new a setting in the Options dialog that lets you control how RD Tabs will open favorites. Previously you could only select as a default "Open in new tab" or "Open in active tab," but now there is a third option. If you select "Open favorite in a new tab (as opposed to the active tab) in the active tab pane" you can set an exception to that rule by clicking the checkbox below it that reads "Unless the active tab is not connected, in which case use the active tab." Basically, if that is checked, RD Tabs will only open favorites in a new tab if the active tab is ALREADY connected to a remote computer. So now you won't have the extra blank connection you have to close manually, if you use this feature.
- Created some more new "breadcrumbs" to track errors that happen during the initialization of the RDP control.
- Added some "automatic repair" features way ahead of schedule, to help with problems stemming from upgrading to Vista SP1 and the RDP control not registering properly. RD Tabs will now prompt you if you would like it to automatically fix it, and if you select yes, you will be prompted for admin credentials and then it will do it's thing. So far, I've actually had a little luck in dragging RD Tabs binaries from one PC to another and running it without actually running the standard installer. RD Tabs may become portable (like, for thumb drives) ahead of schedule, but NO PROMISES! 🙂 The new rdsr.exe is the application that actually performs the repair operations. It's designed so that I can add new "fixup" scenarios to it for support requests without having to distribute an entire new RDTabs.exe and related DLLs.
