Only the installed applications appear as default favorite applications on each respective desktop. You can use this behavior to set up one primary default list of favorite applications that can be applied to multiple virtual machine images with different sets of installed applications.įor example, if Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visio are installed on one virtual machine, and Windows Powershell and VMware vSphere Client are installed on a second virtual machine, you can create one list that includes all four applications. If you create a default list of favorite applications and one or more of the applications are not installed in the remote desktop operating system, or the paths to these applications are not found in the Start menu, the applications do not appear in the list of favorites. The user's favorite application list stays in the user's roaming profile and is available when the user connects to different machines in a floating or dedicated pool.

The benefit of this is, you could be working in another app etc., and you suddenly think of something you need to do. However, if the user configures their own favorite application list, the default list is ignored. I think it's fair to say that Todoist themselves don't do a great job on highlighting the principle benefits of the desktop app, be it Mac or Windows, namely, the Quick Add pop up invoked by a global keyboard shortcut. The default list of favorite applications list remains in effect when an end user first connects to a desktop that is activated with Unity Touch. If you use floating-assignment desktop pools, the favorite applications and favorite files that end users specify will be lost when they disconnect from a desktop unless you activate roaming user profiles in Active Directory.
