Allow User selection of Monitoring Rate - Service Mode

Open bgreganti opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Check List

  • [X] The App appears in the system tray
  • [ ] Running microsoft-edge:https://google.com redirects successfully

Describe the bug
I often leave a few pages open in Edge on another monitor. Redirect doesn't work in this case and the links from say the lock screen open in Edge instead. I understand if this is intended or can't redirected, but would be nice.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Edge.
  2. Press Win + R
  3. Enter "microsoft-edge:https://google.com"
  4. Press Ok.

⚠️ File Upload ⚠️

  1. Leave edge open
  2. Open Powershell
  3. Run gwmi Win32_Process | where { $_.name -like "msedge*.exe"} | Select-Object CommandLine | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize | Out-File $env:LOCALAPPDATA\MSEdgeRedirect\logs\edge.txt
  4. Open %localappdata%\MSEdgeRedirect\logs
  5. Attach the log files

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Windows Version: 21H1
  • Windows Build: 19043.1415

I have two possible recommendations:

  • Use an InPrivate Window for those tabs
  • Uninstall MSEdgeRedirect and Reinstall with Admin Rights, Select Active Mode

Active Mode is a lot more reliable when there's an existing edge window. This is because the command line parameters get lost when they're added as a new tab to an existing window.

I'm working on improving this but I can't be too agressive with monitoring or CPU usage noteably increases. Perhaps I'll add a detection rate slider to allow people to make the choice of accuracy vs cpu usage themselves.

Service mode has been improved to capture Edge earlier. Monitor rate slider will not be implemented
