Will this version be able to handle transfering of files between computers? THAT would be extremely useful for me, much much more than having 2 screens rather than a switch.

Status update:

I got a bit delayed with this project (and MorphOS in general) but am now back on track and have started writing code. There's a bit of trickery I need to do in order to handle mouse 'jumping' to remote screens...

Thanks pampers

I tried code 2 - someone had already used that one, but I took advantage of code 3 - much appreciated.

Quote:

I used code 4, worked fine!

Thank you very much pampers!

Status Update:

I can now connect from either Mac or MorphOS to the server, and stay connected - there's no events passing other than keepalives so far though. Still, the backend is mostly complete and I will be adding mouse movement within a few days.

Hi!

Very nice to read that!
Hurry up and thanks!

Amigan salutations!

Status Update:

Mouse now moves fine over the client screen. While this may seem like a minor accomplishment, it means the backend is complete enough to allow this (including virtual space screen placement, etc).

Coming up next: add mouse buttons and keyboard -> loading/saving of config files (gui comes later) -> first beta.

Thanks a lot jacadcaps for your returns !

MorphOS 3.8 for 25th December ?

Status Update:

Just keyboard translation missing now for the first beta to be complete. I will be updating the SynergyClient as well...

maybe one day the Linux version will be supported.

Quote:

If you mean the server, then yes. If you mean the client: there was someone offering 50eur for me adding Linux support, but then he vaporized. I am a linux hater, so I am not installing it even as a VM without some good motivation.

@jacadcaps

Nice to see these progress reports. I haven't contributed to the bounty, but I really appreciate your efforts in doing this. Synergy makes life so much easier!

Quote:

aah ok. I dont use MorphOS enough to pay the equivalent of 50eu for the app. No biggie.

Is it at all possible in the future to add drag-and-drop support between different machines?

Quote:

I do plan on adding files transfer, but d&d isn't really possible in a portable way.

File transfer system would also be good

The folk who participated in the bounty just got an initial beta of the server. There's much still to be done though...

Quote:

Thanks for the mail with the attached beta.

thanks!

Thanks a lot jacadcaps for this first beta!

Hi...

Would it be easy to port this Client or Server to AmigaOS 3.x? It would be a nice thing to control both MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x on the same desk or will Synergy server/client be too demanding for a 68030 or a 68060 Classic Amiga?

Just wondering.

Quote:

It certainly is possible to port at least the client to 68k.

@jacadcaps

Just to be absolutely clear; this would mean I could use my MorphOS mouse and keyboard to use with an Amiga, plus eventually be able to transfer files between the systems?

Quote:

Yeah, I might consider this for another bounty :) But first things first...

@jacadcaps

200% useful!
