Citrix Workspace app 2109 for HTML5 - Preview

What’s new

Support for copying image clips

Using the standard keyboard shortcuts, you can now copy and paste image clips between your local device and your virtual desktop and app sessions. You can use the standard keyboard shortcuts for copying and pasting while using apps such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Paint, and Adobe Photoshop. Previously, this functionality was available only for text for the Google Chrome browser with HTTPS stores. This functionality is now available for both text and images for the Google Chrome browser with HTTPS stores.

Note:

• In general, for security reasons, we recommend you use only HTTPS-based stores.
• Because of network bandwidth constraints, sessions might become unresponsive when you try to copy and paste an image clip larger than 2 MB.
• You can select and press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V (Microsoft Windows OS, Chrome OS) or Command + C and Command + V (Apple Macs) to copy and paste. The right-click functionality works only when you copy and paste from your virtual desktop and app sessions to your local device. It doesn’t work when you copy and paste from the local device to your virtual desktop and app sessions.
• We’ve tested this feature with BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats.

Battery status indicator

The battery status of the device now appears in the notification area within the virtual desktop session. Previously, the battery status indicator wasn’t visible in the session, which sometimes led to a loss of productivity when the laptop shuts down after the battery runs out.

The newly available battery status indicator feature is supported on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browsers. It is supported only on VDA versions 7.18 and later.

Note:

• With Microsoft Windows 10 VDA, the battery status indicator might take about 1 or 2 minutes to appear.

Fixed issues
