    So, I am loving this product except for one annoying thing. It works great to my 1920 x 1080 Linux remote machine (physical), however, everytime I run NoMachine, it opens a session window of a small size. So, what happens is I have scrollbars for up/down and left/right since the remote display is larger. So, I have to drag to the right and left in windowed mode to resize my client window size to contain the remote desktop without scrollbars. But I wish greatly that was an automatic option!

    I appreciate you have options to resize the remote to match the local, I want the opposite. I want the connection to open a local window of the correct size to match the server! Its very annoying to have to resize every single time.

    Hey there!
    Please try this: when you want to disconnect from the server press Control + Alt + T (or click the small shutdown icon in the menu) and check the box “Remember current window size and position” before selecting the Disconnect or Exit action. When you will use the same connection file, the client will restore the window geometry.

    OK, we spoke about that.
    It’s probably one of those historical things that we left as they were, for not confusing people, but could be definitely improved.
    The problem is the one-window-fits-all of the current client, where the user both navigate among the sessions and start the selected one.
    Resizing the window where the user navigates was not so user-friendly, so we left the original size. But this is annoying, you are right, since it’s quite natural that, if a user selects the same session, on the same server, he will also want the same screen and window’s size.
    The trick, in our opinion, is to do the resize NOT as the user clicks on connect, but AFTER the connection is negotiated and started out, as the session displays its FIRST screen! So… Going to roll out this change.
    Anyway, just for your information, the next client will work in a different and, in our opinion, much better way.
    There will be a window to navigate among the sessions, the users and the other resources, and sessions will start in a different window, whose size will be according to the last one selected by the user. But, for now, the change you propose is certainly for the better.
