Dynamic Resolution Matching for Fluid
This is a powerful productivity feature that will make your remote desktop experience much better: Jump can resize the display on the remote machine to match your local display. This feature makes it much easier to remote control machines which have a larger display than your PC (or vice versa). Seeing is believing:
Tip: To manage your resolution settings: Right-click your connection icon and then click Edit -> Display. You can also change settings live by clicking Remote -> Displays. Dynamic resolution switching is turned off by default for existing connections but turned on for new Fluid connections.
Known limitations: Jump will do it's best to match your local display however it's limited by the capabilities of the remote machine's graphics adapter.
List View
The new list view shows all your connections as a list instead of big icons. Great if you have many connections to manage. Click the button next to the search field to switch between icon and list views.
Auto-reconnect for Fluid
You’re going love this if you’re always on the go with your laptop: Jump will now reconnect to your existing Fluid connections when you open your laptop’s lid (AKA wake up from sleep). It’s seamless and delightful. Jump will also do it’s best to reconnect existing connections if your PC hits transient networking problems.
Other notable changes in the release:
- Horizontal scrolling support for Fluid connections.
- Saved RDP credentials were not used when connecting to a RDP connection.
- Better keyboard compatibility with games and 3D applications.
- Keyboard conversion shortcuts were not working if the shortcut had letters.
- Synchronize connection names even after the initial discovery of the computer: You can now change your computer’s name in ‘Jump Desktop Connect’ on the remote computer and it will synchronize the change on all clients. In earlier versions of Jump, name changes for automatic connections were not synchronized after initial discovery.
- Jump shows a warning/confirmation prompt before connecting if two machines have the same name.
- Wake-On-Lan for automatic connections: Jump will now try to wake up the computer if it’s offline before connecting. This only works for machines on the same LAN network - however, we’re going to add support for WOL over internet soon.
- Support for mouse pointer updates for connections.
- Mouse pointer updates for Fluid connections.
- Use TLS 1.2 when connecting to Jump’s cloud service.
Important Note: Dynamic resolution switching and WOL require updating to Jump Desktop Connect (6.2.27+) on the remote computer. We’re rolling out automatic updates right now (early March 2019) however, if you want to update manually open up https://jumpdesktop.com/go and download the latest release.
