It would be handy with a dropdown box in the toolbar displaying the X number of latest connections made - or maybe rather a list of the X number of connections that was latest disconnected from.
In this way you can quickly connect to frequently used connections - especially those you have disconnected from and need to connect to again, without having to navigate what might be a complex tree structure.

Hi Nicolaj,
this is exactly what is recently available with the connection history right beneath "Administration".
Did you already check it?
Grüße/Regards

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the info!
Yes the feature actually exists in the Connection History (which is very extensive) and this is great, but the list can be a bit overwhelming and is not "quickly accessible" as it would be with a dropdown in the toolbar (like the Connections dropdown).
A feature to consider would be to add the top N entries (number configurable in Settings) from the Connection History (of either connect or disconnect actions - configurable in Settings which to select) to a dropdown in the toolbar. This would make the most recent information from your Connection History very quick to access.
I know it might seem cumbersome - but when working with many connections and servers all the time, a few extra-clicks mouse actually means a lot (case of point, I have never used the Connection History for this, because of these extra clicks, it's often quicker to find them in Connections - but it would even more quicker to have the recent entries in a dropdown :-))

From referenced post:
The dropdown in the feature suggestion should just be a Recent Connection list, so clicking a recent connection in the list, will connect with the default credentials. Possible with the option of right-clicking and getting the same context menu as in the Remote Desktop treeview, so you can connect to a recent reconnection with other credentials.
