|
|
<p data-i18n="feat.hero.sub">The full picture — from per-app RemoteApp windows and URL-scheme link handling to the bidirectional "Open with…" bridge, peripherals, multi-session RDP, and self-healing operations.</p>
|

<h2 data-i18n="feat.seamless.title">Seamless app windows</h2>
|
|
<div class="feat">
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.rail.title">RemoteApp (RAIL), not a desktop</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.rail.body">Each Windows app renders as its own native Linux window — no full-screen Windows desktop. Drop into a full desktop only when you actually want one (<code>winpodx app run desktop</code>).</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.taskbar.title">Real taskbar identity</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.taskbar.body">Per-app taskbar icons via <code>WM_CLASS</code> matching (<code>/wm-class:<stem></code> + <code>StartupWMClass</code>), so each window pins and alt-tabs like a first-class Linux app.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.assoc.title">Bidirectional file associations</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.assoc.body">Double-click a <code>.docx</code> in your file manager and Word opens. Open a second file for an app that's already running and it's delivered into the live session — mapped to its <code>\\tsclient</code> path and opened in place — instead of being silently dropped. The reverse works too — see below. <em>Open with…</em> also works on desktops that launch with a stripped PATH (e.g. Deepin), since entries embed winpodx's absolute path.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.urlschemes.title">Links open the right Windows app</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.urlschemes.body">Click a <code>mailto:</code> link and Outlook opens; app schemes like <code>slack:</code>, <code>vnc:</code>, <code>zoommtg:</code> route to the right Windows app automatically — every scheme an app registers is harvested during discovery and turned into a Linux <code>x-scheme-handler</code>. Web schemes (<code>http:</code>/<code>https:</code>) are registered too, but never silently made your default — you opt in. A shared denylist + sanitizer blocks dangerous schemes (<code>file:</code>, <code>javascript:</code>, <code>data:</code>, …) at both registration and launch.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.menugroup.title">Folder-grouped app menu</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.menugroup.body">Windows apps land under a single <code>WinPodX</code> menu group, mirroring the Start Menu's own folder hierarchy as nested sub-groups instead of scattering 50+ entries across native categories like Office and Graphics. (GNOME flattens nested menus, so it shows them as one group.) Menu search still finds each app by name.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.multi.title">Multi-session RDP</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.multi.body">The bundled <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/kernalix7/rdprrap">rdprrap</a> auto-enables up to 25 independent RDP sessions, so multiple apps run truly in parallel. RAIL prerequisites are set automatically during the unattended install.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.multimon.title">Multi-monitor RAIL</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.multimon.body">Remote-app windows span multiple displays by default (<code>rdp.multimon</code>) — drag a window onto a second monitor and it keeps taking input, no dead window on the other screen.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.seamless.keyboard.title">Your keyboard layout</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.seamless.keyboard.body">Set <code>[pod] keyboard</code> in your config and WinPodX passes it straight to FreeRDP (<code>/kbd:layout</code>), so non-US layouts type correctly in every Windows app.</p>
|

<div class="feat">

<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.reverse.menu.title">In the Windows "Open with…" menu</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n="feat.reverse.menu.body">Your Linux apps appear in the Windows guest's right-click "Open with…" menu by default, with correct per-app icons in both the short menu and the long "Choose another app" dialog.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.reverse.roundtrip.title">Round-trips to the host</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.reverse.roundtrip.body">Pick a Linux app inside Windows and the file open round-trips back to the host's <code>xdg-open</code>. WinPodX auto-discovers host-side Linux apps and their MIME associations from freedesktop standards.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.reverse.guestdisk.title">Windows-side files too</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.reverse.guestdisk.body">Not just your shared home — the guest <code>C:</code> drive is shared over SMB and mounted with kio-fuse, so the Linux app opens the real guest file and edits save straight back (KDE; needs kio-fuse).</p>
|
|
</div>

<div class="block">

<h3 data-i18n="feat.reverse.manage.title">Manageable</h3>

|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.zeroconf.discovery.title">Auto-discovery</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.zeroconf.discovery.body">By default WinPodX registers only the apps your Windows Start Menu shows, grouped into matching folder sub-groups, each with its real icon. Set <code>desktop.full_app_scan</code> (CLI or a Settings checkbox) to also scan the registry App Paths, all UWP/MSIX, Chocolatey and Scoop. Rescan any time with <code>winpodx app refresh</code> or the GUI Refresh button.</p>

|

</div>

<div class="block">
|
|
<h3 data-i18n="feat.zeroconf.thinimage.title">Thin AppImage</h3>
|
|
<p data-i18n-html="feat.zeroconf.thinimage.body">The AppImage is a lean build — Python, Qt, and the FreeRDP client only. It uses the host's <code>podman</code> / <code>docker</code> instead of bundling the whole container stack, so it stays small and plays nicely with rootless setups.</p>
