UltraVNC viewer Portable

It is nearly the entire .vnc file, stored in the Windows registry. That's why I haven't implemented one yet.

I've been thinking of creating a .ini-type file, with a similar structure to the .vnc files (since that's what actually gets stored), to implement the MRU. However, this would occupy just as much space on the disk as having separate .vnc files for each connection, with the only benefit of it being in just one file instead of many.

As I said earlier, though, I'm still open to suggestions on this topic, as I'm not totally against it. I've just been creating .vnc files for the connections I commonly use, myself. If I can find a better way to do this, I'll definitely add it to the next release.

Yep, still ongoing, just waiting for the 1.0.3 viewer release, so I can make it portable. I tried the same method, at first, and noticed while perusing my registry that there were still several registry settings there. Upon inspecting the source, I realized that I could change that without loosing any functionality (except for the MRU, you'll notice).

Keep watching, I'll make sure to update (AND include the zip/unzip .dll's) when the next version's out.

Sounds like making a portable-only vncviewer might be a good idea after all. Gimme a few days (probably more like a week, gotta rebuild my PC and a friend's), I'll get right on it. A version that don't need the -portable parameter. Maybe I'll change the target output filename to pvncviewer.exe?

The source has been cleaned up slightly, mostly removing the need for the "-portable" parameter, and permanent removal of the MRU, and cleaning up the initial dialog a bit.

All that's left now is to make the launcher (a simple NSI script to locate and run the executable, maybe a splash screen), and create the .paf.exe installer.

With any luck, I'll have the launcher and installer ready tomorrow or Monday evening!

With this version, you can create a .vnc file after establishing the connection by clicking the "system menu" (the icon at the top-left corner of the window), and selecting "Save connection info as..." (or press Ctrl-Alt-F5). Next time you start the viewer, click the "..." button and load the file.

Originally the "Save connection settings as default" created a "options.vnc" file in the %temp% folder, but it never got reloaded automatically, so I figured "if it doesn't really do what it looks like it says, why have it there?"

Perhaps I'll eventually put it back in, and have it actually load it at startup (if it's either in the Data directory or in the App directory), but the uvnc crew say another version's on the horizon, so I'll wait until that's been released first.
