Description

Color Depth

Choose the color depth for the remote computer view. If Remote FX is enabled, the color depth will be set to 32bit regardless of what is stated in this field. For details, see Remote FX.

Resolution

Choose from the available list of resolutions including Fit to browser window and Fit to screen, ideal for hiding the browser and working on a full screen mode.

Image Quality

The connection image quality is related to the application performance (higher quality performance).

The default Image quality is Optimum, it presents the best cost-benefit relationship between quality and performance. Take a look at the options below for more quality or better performance:

Highest - Uses PNG images only (0% compression).
Optimum - Combines PNG and JPEG images (20% compression).
Good - Uses JPEG images only (40% compression).
Fastest - Uses JPEG images only (50% compression).

Option

Description

Enable Clipboard

Check this option to enable the clipboard on the remote connection.

Enable Clipboard File transfer

This feature allows users to transfer files between the client and server by copying and pasting files via the clipboard. This provides a convenient method for moving files between devices without the need to upload and download them manually.

Enable Intermediate

Disk

Activate this option to have an intermediate disk available on the connections created through this profile.

Disk name

Name to identify the intermediate disk among the other remote desktop disks.

Automatically download any newly-added file

This option is selected by default and it allows Thinfinity® Workspace to automatically download any file saved or copied in the Intermediate disk direction.

Files with the format *.tmp y ~$*.* are excluded by default. To exclude different files from this download, configure the .ini file. (*) For details, see the instructions below.

Enable Sound

Check this option to enable the remote sound to be reproduced within the browser (only for Firefox and Chrome browsers).

Sound quality

Determines the quality that Thinfinity Workspace uses to reproduce the remote sound. Higher quality will require more resources.

(*) The settings.ini configuration file can be found on this path:

C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\Workspace\DB\settings.ini

In the .ini file, create an [AutoDownload] section and use the Exclusion key with the values that you want to exclude using Glob Expression Syntax (standard DOS mode), separated by the "|" char. You can also use the regular expression notation to indicate which files to exclude, except for the single pipe character, which is reserved for Thinfinity Workspace to indicate separation between exclusion rules. Use the double pipe character, instead, within the regex for the "or" operator.

Here is an example of an [AutoDownload] section and the correct use of characters. Notice the use of ":" at the beginning of the .jpg exclusion rule and the double pipe to indicate that files starting with the letter "a" or the letter "b" will be excluded.

[AutoDownload]
Exclusion=*.tmp|~$*.*|:^.*\.jpg$|^[a||b].*$

Option

Description

Smart Sizing

Scale the connection image. The maximum size of the connection will be the original desktop size.

RemoteFX

Enable RemoteFX. Read More about Remote FX. This option affects other settings.

Desktop Background

Show the desktop background.

Visual Styles

Show Windows Visual Styles: the appearance of common controls, colors, borders, and themes.

Menu and Windows Animation

Show menu and windows animation when you scroll or expand a drop down menu.

Font Smoothing

Allow "Clear Type", a font smoothing option added to Windows Server 2008.

Show the contents of the window while being dragged. Otherwise a transparent border is dragged.

Desktop Composition

Configure the DWM to redirected the desktop drawing to off-screen surfaces in video memory. Also, the desktop will present many visual effects.

All of these options that enhance the remote desktop view require additional bandwidth, which may negatively impact performance depending on your connection.

Option

Description

Unicode Keyboard

Uncheck this option to connect to Unix computers through xRDP.

Keyboard Layout

Choose the keyboard layout for the remote computer.

Connect to console session

Check this option to connect to the console session. This requires confirmation from the logged on user and logging out the current session.

Disable NLA login

Check this to skip NLA as the default login and have the authentication done by an alternative method.

WebSocket compression

Check this option to enable the compression for the exchanged WebSocket data and have the application performance improved.

It only works in browsers which have the WebSockets compression implemented and enabled.

Record Remote Desktop Session

Enables the recording of the remote session when connecting to this profile. For details, see Session Recording.

Drag to relative mouse movement

The relative mouse movement is a mouse behavior encountered in touch screen mobile devices, in which the screen cursor moves relatively to the touch when dragging.

Uncheck this option to have a mouse behavior similar to the real desktop mouse in which the cursor will be always positioned under the touch.

Touch to hold delay

Specify time in milliseconds that you need to hold a touch until you can drag.

Minimum drag distance

Specify maximum distance in pixels that you can move the finger and have it considered a touch instead of a drag movement.

Option

Description

Connection/Use Gateway

Allows the desktop client to act as an intermediary that routes the RDP connections of users to the internal servers of an enterprise network allowing them through a HTTPS port giving secure access without exposing internal servers directly to the Internet. Use a Gateway if you want to provide remote access to internal resources in a secure and controlled manner, especially when users connect from outside the network.

Connection/Remote Credential Guard

Protects user credentials on RDP connections. Instead of sending credentials directly to the remote server, Credential Guard keeps them on the local computer and uses a token-based authentication process. Use Remote Credential Guard when the focus is on protecting user credentials during the RDP session, especially in environments where credential security is critical.

Redirect

Use the Redirect checkboxes to give permissions/ allow the use of the resources (Disks, Cameras, COM ports, USB Devices, Smart cards, WebAuthn, POS Devices, Microphone and Location) and redirect them to the remote machine.
