I have two questions about the latest 1.4.2 version of synergy. First is the dual tray icons, no matter what I do I seem to end up with two and I can't get one to go away without the other. Maybe I've set ups something incorrectly, but I would prefer only one.

Second, when I start up my computer I have a command window that comes up to show errors. Is there a setting to not have the command window open? I didn't see any in the settings. This seems to be new with 1.4.

The dual tray icons is a known limitation of the new 1.4.2 gui. Are you running 1.4.2 as a service? What are the errors? Are they on the server or client? And what Operating System?

I've tried it as a service, and as just a program, both seem to have the issue. There are no errors, just a command window that is empty.

Please upgrade Synergy and choose service mode.

I don't know if this can help, but I'll show you how I set my synergy server (v 1.4.2beta) on windows7 x64.

  1. First of all, I installed it normally, with no "service" option (I don't need this).
  2. Second, i created a configuration file (home_config.sgc) by starting "qsynergy.exe".
  3. I made a batch script that simply launch "synergys.exe" using my config, called synergyserver.bat; here it is:

synergy_install_pathsynergys -c config_pathhome_config.sgc

mine is

d:
cd ProgrammiSynergy
synergys -c home_config.sgc

4: Everythings works fine BUT a command console showing synergys output is present, and i DON'T want it.
5: So i made a little vb script called "start_synergyServer.vbs" to hide it. Here it is:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "D:ProgrammiSynergysynergyServer.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

6: then i put this vbs in autostart, and now when i log in synergys start with only one icon in sysTray.

I know it may be a long way to do something really simple, but it's working and It's the only thing i care. :)

I just decided to wait till it becomes stable. I went back to the last stable version and all works wonderfully again. The nifty setup screen is nice, but the quirks still in it were too annoying. There were other little issues with the moving from machine to machine that didn't always work right. Nothing I could figure out to make it reproducible, but on occasion it just wouldn't move to the other computer. No errors or other issues I could see...

Still the best programs for working with multiple computers, and once this version becomes stable I'll give it another try.

Hello,

I'had been getting same issue with the following configuration :

  • Windows XP sp3 (32bit)
  • Synergy 1.4.5 beta 32bit
  • Synergy client service autostart

The I had two icons one connected and other one not connected. To solve this I removed --relaunch option from the parameters passed to the service (then the only one showing is the initial service)

You can found CommandLine parameters passed to the service in the following regestry key path :

HKLM\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Service\Synergy Client\Parameters

Simply remove --relaunch from it.

regards,
