Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2018-01-15 16:32:34 CET
Scenario:

 A user is allowed to have several sessions on their ThinLinc cluster.
 There are several profiles for different tasks. Users need to switch
 between profiles. They want to avoid long start-up times by reconnecting
 to existing sessions.

 A user creates three different sessions with profile A, B, and C, and 
 disconnects from them all.

Problem:

 The user wants to reconnect to the session running profile B. How can he or she 
 know which session to choose?

Comment 1 Samuel Mannehed cendio 2018-01-16 13:53:48 CET
We had two ideas of how to improve this:

 * presenting a screenshot of the session for the user
 * specifying the name of the profile that was chosen (we already do this for tlcommand)

Note however that no communications channel for this kind of information from the user's session is available at the moment.
