Hello,

I am running QRecall 1.2.0(55) on a headless server (Mac mini, onboard graphics), which I manage using the Screen Sharing app. Unfortunately, QRecall's new visuals seem not to be compatible with Screen Sharing: While the layers list displays correctly on the controlling remote Mac, the lower section in the window (showing the files in the layer/archive) shows blank except for the grey disclosure triangles.

I assume this is a consequence of QR using the fastest graphics routines available, hence bypassing some hooks in the OS that it uses to detect changes for sending over Screen Sharing? Is there anything I could do about it (some hidden pref in QR) to disable fast drawing, but enable compatibility with Screen Sharing?

Thanks for any hints,
Christian

I've noticed the same thing (Mac OS 10.7 client sharing a headless Xserve running OS X 10.6). I find that if I do anything to change the browser display (click on row to select it, scroll, resize the window, etc.) the window redraws correctly.

Alas, I'm not that clever. Most of the revamped user interface is built using Apple's Core Animation, an API introduced in OS X 10.5.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Screen Sharing. I'll file a bug report with Apple.
