How to start Remote Mode?

#1

Continuing the discussion from [Tutorial: Remote or Desktop Mode](https://community.jthink.net/t/tutorial-remote-or-desktop-mode/11717):

I don’t have this option in File menu. I’m using Jaikoz 12.4 on Windows 10 Pro (64). Picture here File_menu

I uninstalled jaikoz, deleted all files from /users/Jaikoz and installed it again. No change. Browser path to chrome is now saved, also the player link.

Remember I had this option in File Menu right after the initial installation. I clicked on it, since it opened just a black screen, I closed the window with CTRL+C. At that time no browser link was defined in Preferences.

Not a big deal, but I could check the remote mode in order to avoid the ridiculous small text sizes displayed in jakoz - related to this topic GUI Text Size

Thank you for any help or ideas on how to start the Remote mode in Jaikoz.

P.S. Wait… Seams I linked a tutorial for SongKong. I have this issue on Jaikoz. My bad. There is a remote mode at all in Jaikoz? Remember I opened something, now I am wondering if I didn’t opened it on SK. Why there are two applications for the same thing, made by the same developer, even sharing the same forum and finally having the same purpose: tagging music files? So confusing…

Jaikoz does not have a remote mode, would not be practicable to have a GUI this complex rendered in stateless Html within a web-browser.

Jaikoz was the first product developed.

SongKong was developed a number of years later and one of is main aims was to provide a solution for fixing your music if it was on a headless server such as a Nas, so the remote mode was key part of this. Other big differentiators are the Undo feature even after restart and there being no limitation on how many songs can be processed since they are not preloaded as they are in Jaikoz, only as they are processed.

It was originally envisaged that most people would migrate to SongKong, but I have found that many customers when using desktop computer prefer the more traditional interface provided by Jaikoz so we now continue with both applications.
