Configure for the Desktop client

GDC configurations contain information about the available Genero Desktop Clients (GDC).

You can create multiple GDC Configurations, each with a different name.

Note: For information on installing the Genero Desktop Client outside of Genero Studio, see the Install and License your Genero Products manual.

Select a configuration from the list to modify its settings. Use the integrated Toolbar to add, duplicate, remove, or edit a configuration. Once a name is added, enter its settings.

The following fields apply to a GDC configuration:

Host: Hostname or IP address where the GDC client executes. In local host mode, when the host field is empty, the client IP address will be automatically detected in order that GDC will always be accessible from fglrun. You can change this manually.
Port: Port from which the client is to be launched. Each GDC client needs a separate port.
Connection Timeout: The time in milliseconds that the connection will wait for the client to respond. You can usually use the default timeout of 3000, but you can modify it if your machine is very slow.; If the client doesn't respond within this time, the client is started using the location specified by Script path.
Use autostart script: Check this option to have Genero Studio automatically start the client.; Uncheck this option if you want to manually start the client.
Script path: Location of the installed GDC executable.
Script options: Command line options for the execution of Genero Desktop Client (GDC). For a full list of valid command line options, see the Genero Desktop Client User Guide.

The Start Display Client button starts the display client.
