Joseph Little 0 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I updated to Synergy 2 Beta 5 (Win 10 version) and I now am able connect my work computer to laptop. (GREAT!) I hard firewall issues with Beta 4 and turning off firewall is not an option! I have 3 questions: 1. When I remove a machine it still stays (Greyed out) on the Synergy Desktop app. How do I remove this machine altogether? 2. Text cut and paste works but file cut and paste does not. 3. I have 3 monitors on my work machine in a L shape (2 up, 1 down), when I add my laptop in to make a 2 up, 2 down grid of monitors there does not appear to be a way to configure Synergy to do this. The 3 monitors appear to function as a single monitor and I can not get the mouse to enter the laptop screen in a natural way. Will this feature be added in the future? Thank you! I love this product! Joseph Edited November 3, 2017 by Joseph Little Link to post Share on other sites
trobotham 0 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm trying to figure out how to remove a machine as well, a response to this would most definitely be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin Tran 142 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Why are you trying to remove the machine? Is it purely for troubleshooting purposes or are you trying to eliminate it from your "Synergy-based network"? Link to post Share on other sites
FireFrenzy 9 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 For me its because one of my PCs is listed twice... Once as PC SOME NUMBER HERE and then once more as "name of the pc"... And one of those isnt even connecting right... Link to post Share on other sites
Synergy Team Nick Bolton 407 Posted November 4, 2017 Synergy Team Share Posted November 4, 2017 Could you give RC1 a try? Link to post Share on other sites
FireFrenzy 9 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 that was in rc1, it wasn't a problem in 1.8.8 Link to post Share on other sites

VooPoc 0 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm on RC1. I had to rename my computer and the old named computer is still there. How do I go about removing it? Link to post Share on other sites
Don Lee 0 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm having the same issue. My machine listed twice. IT would be nice to be able to remove duplicate machine from the app Link to post Share on other sites

UmbraMalum 0 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Same here, my computer is listed twice and there is nothing I can do to remove it. Also I find it very hard to change any settings after installing the app on my 2 Macs, there seems to be a distinct lack of any menu's Link to post Share on other sites

There will be additional administrative features coming in Synergy 2.1, the beta for which will be coming out in January and the final version for which will be coming out March or April. Settings, tray icon, etc. are planned features of Synergy 2.1. Like Nick asked, I too wonder what settings you are trying to change. For most people, Synergy 2 sets up an encrypted, tunneled connection between two or more systems quite fine on its own. The more "tinkery" stuff will be coming in v2.1.

UmbraMalum 0 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Sorry for not being clear earlier I would like todo the following things in Synergy 2.0: 1. Remove double entries en old clients. 2. Rename clients. 3. Change between server/client mode without having to reinstall. On the whole though Synergy 2 seems to be working well so far, good work !! I will wait for the next version, no big deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Synergy Team Nick Bolton 407 Posted November 5, 2017 Synergy Team Share Posted November 5, 2017 1 & 2 are coming soon, in 2.1. But, you can actually do 3 already! Right click a computer to share. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
