Love the app, hate the way it handles panning. It's enough to drive me insane. I would much rather use normal touch to pan, just like most all other iPhone apps. Two fingers for zooming in and out.

The way it is now it's far too easy to send unintended mouse clicks/drags to the host PC. I actually sent an email accidentally due to it.

And I do not understand--in 0.5--exactly how to pan Vs. zoom. When I want to zoom, it pans. When I want to pan, it just goes nuts.

It's a shame that such a great app misses the boat on something as basic as panning and mouse control.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Because it's working beautifully for me and I've been on this app since the first version. The latest introduces a ton of fixes that make it that much more useable...guess everyone's experiences (and expectations) may vary.

I have the same problem. I can't keep two fingers close enough together to move the screen around without initiating the zoom effect.
I'm clicking all over the screen and i'm not even trying. It's really poorly implemented.

If you change the preferences to "view only" you'll see how it should work. You don't need two fingers to move the screen in that mode.

[loujob]

lol really. Why don't you smoke a joint to help you keep your fingers steady or something because I dont have that problem as well. Its just keep your fingers somewhat equal distance from your hands initial state to its final state.

Yea in view mode it works great. I would much rather it work that way all of the time.

I still maintain having the mouse "live" is poor implementation on a device as easy to touch as the iPhone.

I should note I am using it with TightVNC on a Windows box. Can't see what that would have to do with basic panning though.

FWIW I updated to 0.5.1 last night but it didn't help the panning issue.

yes its very hard to scroll around.
Maybe they should implement just like the delete a video function on the iphone's ipod video section. (You hold your finger on the screen then slide it to the right and then a delete option will show up)

They should make it so you hold down your finder and which ever way you slide it, it will scroll the screen in that direction.

I just decided to try and install, using Ultra VNC as someone stated earlier of using and it works like a charm. After playing with it for about 5 minutes I started understanding how to move around and drag and drop, etc (the basics basically of using a "mouse").

This will be so convenient for those moments that I am asked to repair a computer and when I forget a paticular file that I would have on my computer, I can now have the option of just enabling a ftp server on my PC through VNC and continue on my way! (or watch pron from work /giggle)

[testman]

VNsea is realy impressive. But anybody has found the counterpart : a VNC server (like osxvnc) for iPhone ?

Doing so, it would enable us to visual remote control the iPhone... quite handy if you are developping an application for instance ;-)
Or if you need to remote access your "unlimited account" without infriging your mobile operator contract, say ;-)

Hey Everyone..
I have added code to allow double tap on the top statusbar to toggle between view mode and mouse control mode.

I've been playing around with it and it seems to solve alot of peoples complaints about moving around.

check for version .61 anyday now on Installer App..

thanks

[peteo]

cool Thanks, Ill try it out when its on the installer

[kurosh]

.7 just released i believe, got an update on installer

[peteo]

cool i installed vnc .7 from the installer and it works pretty good now.
2 things can you make it so 1 click on the status bar can switch between pointer and screen panning mode? also the can we get a wide screen keyboard when we tilt the iphone. and is there any way to speedup the redraw on the iphone screen? when the keyboard is open it should push up the bottom of the screen. Some times screen on the iphone gets "stuck" and does not refresh.

Over all this is a very good release as i am remoting into my computer with vnsea and writing this reply!

[iAlexander]

It's alright to use... takes a bit of getting used to. I'm typing from it now! Also I am highly tempted to scare/piss off my sister! A recommendation: whenever (and i mean whenever) you want to move around, double-tap on the bar at the top.

I've just noticed a bit of a bug too! When in the interaction mode is active, open the keyboard and type into something. Then double-tap the status bar. Notice that you can still enter text! This is really useful actually!
Great app!

I just switched to a 24 inch iMac and when I use VNSea to view it the dock in not visable.

Thoughts?
