Folders and Inheritance
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
Folders on mRemoteNG cannot only be used to categorize connections but also to inherit
|
|
properties to underlying connections.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
=======
|
|
You have ten Remote Desktop enabled servers in one domain and 15 in another domain.
|
|
Normally you would spend a lot of time creating all those connections and setting
|
|
the individual properties like username, password, etc.
|
|
|
|
In mRemoteNG there is an easier way. You just create two folders
|
|
(one for domain A and one for domain B) and set all properties there.
|
|
Then create the connections itself and let it inherit every property.
|
|
The only properties left to set on the connection itself are the connection name and hostname.
|
|
Everything else will be inherited from the parent folder.
|
|
|
|
**Here is how you do this:**
|
|
Add the folder. This can be done like this:
|
|
|
|
- Right click on connections and click on **New Folder**
|
|
- :menuselection:`File --> New Folder`
|
|
- Or with keybinding: :kbd:`Ctrl+Shift+N`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Then give it a name and fill all the properties you need (like you did with the test connection).
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /images/folders_and_inheritance_02.png
|
|
|
|
When you have filled in the settings and values you can either
|
|
just drag the test Connection inside the folder or create a new one.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /images/folders_and_inheritance_03.png
|
|
|
|
Right now nothing has changed and nothing will be inherited.
|
|
To enable inheritance switch to the inheritance view by clicking the dedicated button.
|
|
(Marked with a red arrow below)
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /images/folders_and_inheritance_04.png
|
|
|
|
The properties that show up now are almost the same as before,
|
|
but you only select yes or no to enable or disable a inheritance.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /images/folders_and_inheritance_05.png
|
|
|
|
When no is selected the property will not be inherited, yes indicates an inherited property.
|
|
For this test set Inherit Everything to Yes.
|
|
Now if you switch back to the properties view (the button left of the inheritance button)
|
|
you should see that not much is left of all those properties.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /images/folders_and_inheritance_06.png
|
|
|
|
Only the Name and Hostname/IP properties are left over,
|
|
everything else will be inherited from the parent folder.
|
|
Of course you can also only let some of the properties be inherited.
|
|
Just play around with this a bit and you'll get the hang of it.

|
Color Property
|
|
==============
|
|
You can set a color for each connection or folder in the connections list.
|
|
This makes things clearer when you have many connections.
|
|
|
|
To set a color:
|
|
|
|
1. Select a connection or folder in the connections tree
|
|
2. In the properties panel, find the **Color** property under the Display category
|
|
3. Click on the color value and select a color from the color picker
|
|
|
|
When you set a color on a folder, all connections under that folder can inherit the same color
|
|
if their Color inheritance is enabled. This provides a visual way to group and identify
|
|
related connections in the tree view.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The Color property can be inherited just like other properties. Enable inheritance
|
|
in the inheritance view to have connections automatically use their parent folder's color.
