Bug Description

As a frequent Remmina user, I desperately want an option to be added so that I can ensure that all new connections are scaled by default.

Every time I open a new connection, the first thing I do is hit the scale button. Therefore, if there were an option to set all new connections to scale upon opening, it would save me this step numerous times per day.

Here's how I use Remmina:

1) I almost always open connections at the client's resolution.

2) I always use tabs instead of full screen, so that I can tab between sessions like you'd tab between web pages in a modern browser.

3) I always scale the sessions so that they take up the full space of each tab's display area. I appreciate the magnification this provides in most cases.

Since I do item 3 every time, it would very be nice if I had a user preference for setting it as default for me. Furthermore I will also suggest setting this as default generally, because I can't image anyone preferring scrolling over scaling in situations where the client's resolution is larger than the tab's available area.

Launchpad will not allow me to associate either of these as upstream to this bug.

As a workaround this can be used:

~/.remmina/remmina.pref

add:
scale=1

to the section [remmina]

This creates scaled mode as a default settings for any new connection. Enjoy !
