This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (In reply to Vimal Patel from comment #0) > Expected results: > --spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect=<filter-string> Filter > selecting connected USB devices to redirect when a remote-viewer connection > is established. This help message is not specific to remote-viewer. Any spice client should share the same message. It is obvious that device has to be present to be redirected on connect. Tbh, I don't know how we could make this text message clearer. Please consider closing this bug, and making this sort of suggestion upstream in mailing list before opening a bug. Part of the lack of clarity here may be due to the fact that 'on connect' could be interpreted in 2 ways: 1) spice connection to guest, 2) usb device connected to client machine. Note that the upstream help text no longer contains the 'on connect' text. It now says: "Filter selecting USB devices to be auto-redirected when plugged in" which is slightly less ambiguous. sorry, ignore last comment, I was looking at the help text for the wrong option.

I think we use the term "plug" for USB device, especially in user visible strings. so is this better: selecting USB devices to redirect on connect "to server"? I personally think that's a bit more clear, yes. You could possibly replace 'to server' with 'to guest' if one or the other is more consistent with other documentation.

Vimal, could you help and comment previous proposals? Vimal, can you comment on previous proposals? thanks ping no better version, let's keep current doc then. |
