Obvious changes/enhancements needed

Hi stoffen,

regarding the 3) - you can use Ctrl+left/right arrow for rearranging tabs:

Is Solarputty still being developed? Are any changes in the pipeline? I use it every day but the UI is so clunky that I'm getting fed up with it. If you leave the session and work on something else, clicking in the window returns focus but the window does not come to the foreground. You HAVE to click in a free area of the top bar where the tabs appear to get the window to come to the foreground, and then the window loses mouse focus so you need to click in the window AGAIN to continue working. This is a lot of mouse action and clicking for a tool that is supposed to be intended for CLI access, not to mention just stupid. Yes you can just alt-tab back and forth, and I do sometimes. I end up doing the click-search-click-click thing to get back to the window often enough that to me it's worth bringing it up.

And as stoffen noted, it doesn't do any of the logging, tunneling, etc that Putty does, so it's not really Putty; it's kind of a rip off of the name. Is any of that going to be added at some point?

As I've said elsewhere, I do like having all of my router/switch sessions saved so easily, but I have to go back to Putty to do any real work, and if this is as far as this application is going to go, I'll probably end up dropping it because the UI is really irritating and it's so limited.

SolarPutty was released as Free Tool but yes we are developing new versions occasionally. Last version includes e.g.:

• WinSCP library update
• Fixed issues with positioning, enlarging and fitting PuTTy window

The SCP protocol doensn't work in solarputty in spite of I have already installed the lates version of winscp and running it as administrator. I got the error: "connection has been unexpectedly closed..." how can I work with scp with solarputty

Kind of an old thread, but I would like to chime in.

What sets this tool apart for me is the session manager search and Windows Search integration.  These features are pure gold.  Kudos to the Devs for this and to Solarwinds for making SolarPutty available for free.

Point #1 from OP though....your disconnected session activity being replaced with a white reconnect screen.  This is more than just a serious shortcoming.  This kills the tool for me.

Are there any plans to address this?
