Startup and Login manager

Hello there, I've been using WinSCP for years to connect to all the RasPis I'm using. Today I thought let's look for an update and install it, without writing down the old version I was using. Now, of course, I can't get the old behavior back and it is driving me crazy :P

When I started WinSCP it always only opened the Login manager this was perfect to open multiple PuTTY session and/or login to transfer files with WinSCP. Now with the new version I always get the main window opened, too. Is there a way to disable the loading of the main window until I actually start a session?

The other thing is, I was able to open a PuTTY session with Shift+Ctrl+P without closing the login manager window. The behavior of the new version is to show the loading cursor for a second then nothing happens. Funny enough the start command ends up in the clipboard (e.g. D:\xyz\abc\putty.exe -load "WinSCP temporary session") Ctrl+P still works.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: Happily surprised to find a BCH address on the donation page :)

Re: Startup and Login manager

To open Login dialog of WinSCP without opening the main window, create a desktop shortcut with /newinstance command-line switch:

The keyboard shortcut is indeed broken:

I'm sending you an email with a development version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

Thanks, for the info. That worked. My old version didn't need the switch but that's no problem. Glad I have the option back.

Yes, old habit, never use your real address :0.

I'm fine with waiting for the release version unless you need people to test it.
