action center notifications? where did you guys hide these at?

from Stardock Forums

So ive burned an hour digging through the registry.  Time to ask the powers that be.

During my initial purchase (yesterday) and set up of multiplicity KVM pro, i was disconnecting and reconnecting to secondary pc's frequently.

Each time I was greeted with an annoying flyout making sure I was aware it was reconnected.  

I checked the windows notifications list, it wasnt there to disable, so I caught it on its next flyout and hit the gear.   This allowed me to disable it.

Now the first issue is why it wouldnt be present in said list to begin with, to edit on the fly.  (to be fair, ive seen this with teamviewer as well, which i have saved the registry key to enable/disable on a whim)

The second more pressing issue, is how i re-enable this in the first place?  aka, what is the path to the string to toggle this in the registry please?   Probably wouldnt hurt to have a checkbox within the application to enable or disable notifications.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

After you have dismissed it to not show, it does not appear in the Windows Notification list. 

Close the notification list, unload MP, reload it, and it should then show:

Would ya look at that :P

NEVER knew that was a way to get it to display.   For some crazy reason, windows instead of maintaining the list perpetually - cleanses it almost immediately.   You have to close/re-open, refresh the list and change it.   Otherwise it simply purges it from the list?   Definitely not ideal, and i consider myself a power user. 

Oh well, at least i know i can get at the teamviewer notifications that way as well, as opposed to doing it in the registry every time.   (i'd still love to know where the key/string is though, for if push comes to shove if you know off-hand)

While youre about, any way to get rid of that admin warning/popup when closing multiplicity via the registry? 

Thanks!

'Closing via registry' or stopping the service?

While admin access is still required for any actions on services (you can turn UAC off if you do not want that), if you just need to stop/start the service with less work, I wrote this:

Running it manually - from the desktop for example - it will stop the MP service if its running, start it if it's not.

Sorry, what i meant was when closing the tray icon via right click-exit, how can I prevent that pop-up from displaying?  I'd like to simply be able to exit it without "are you sure you want to unload multiplicity" popping up.

If there is a string in the registry to disable that, would be great.   If not - its minor.

Much more pressing is if you could look here and offer some ideas.

If there is, I am unaware but can look when I find time.  The script I posted will avoid all of that, however, and perform the same duty.

I participated in that thread, and did many test of my own, I cant reproduce the issue. 

What I have noticed, and reported, is that this is not working consistently:

Ok, ill just assume that they arent related (the prevent secondary) not working and the wake on lan not working.

the wake on lan is far more important to me at the moment.

I do realize you were in the thread in the past - I had hoped with the gentleman's info regarding the problem being related to multiple adapters being present, and my information about mac addresses and the variables i tested,  you would have some other suggestions.

I'd like to peg it on user error, but same mac address works with other software so i have no idea where the hang up is but its beyond annoying to have to open something else to wake up a pc to use multiplicity with it lol.

its my life's mission to get working atm.

as for the script, i filed it away for later but id love to be able to do it conventionally so if you get time and there is a string I can 1 > 0 and have that popup be gone, or even delete it would be great.   

Thanks for your time and help :)
