the Spooled File support added in RDp 8.0 was done un-officially, in my

Thanks to all those who pointed out that the font could be changed. This has to be the one time in recorded history when I didn't try a right-click just to see what was available!

Interestingly (as John F. later noted) once you set the font it seems to "hold" - at least during the current session - I haven't gone beyond that point yet. I also noticed that until I changed the font I was getting nothing in the graphic view for an "ordinary" spool file. After the change I do see a fuzzy graphic version.

And Hi John F. Good to hear from you - I had no idea it was a "technology preview" kind of thing - just assumed it was a new feature. I haven't been able to find a list of the new features in V8 so I was just in the process of going through the product looking for them.

Other than the two things I've mentioned - setting the default font and the fact that open should be the default behavior, the other feature that would be good to have is a delete option. I haven't yet had time to verify this but it appears that when the file cannot be opened (connection dropped for example) it doesn't tell you the connection has been dropped - just shows a blank screen. Only when I tried to refresh the list did I see the comms failure message.


Thanks to all
