Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/EslaMx7/ScreenTask/issues/13

Screen task works excellently, but I feel with a few more options would take it to the next level.

Right now it always defaults to localhost, I'm not sure what use that is. I would like to be able to set it to default to wi-fi.

Also, it would be nice to have it be able to start the server as soon as the program is opened.

Further, it would be excellent if ScreenTask could start and stay in the background.

Then combined with a static IP, ScreenTask would be an extremely easy to use and powerful tool. My client works in an office with one other person and often he needs to view what's on his secretary's screen. If her computer launched this at startup in the background, then he could just have her static IP bookmarked and peak in at documents she wants to show him without her needing to launch anything.

That's great to hear, thanks for the update! I would like to have those features sooner, but it's not a necessity if it's much work for you.

Btw, I found your software via this article:

Hello,

When a new version is released?
I think that's great idea. When the program starts set default IP and start server at launch.

@Motostrelok Thank you for your feedback, I'm currently working on a new optimized version with a lot of features including the configurations for what you asking for, but it takes some time to test the functionality for cross-platform compatibility, I expect to release a beta version within the next month.

Great work Eslam!! I too, along with several others obviously, am waiting the next release with auto IP, and autostart. Do you have an updated time frame?
Thanks

Hi,
Really like the app, quite easy to use.
But i've seen that there have been requests, regarding the "default IP" setting etc. a while ago. I'm looking for the same feature.
Is there a newer version available or when will it be?
