Hello we are considering buying 2X and we would like to know if 2X has "Special folder redirection" feature as it's available on Xenapp.

Special Folder Redirection (SFR) allows for the automatic redirection of server-side Special Folders to their client-side equivalents. When a user clicks on the Documents folder in their XenApp 5 session, the folder that opens will actually be the local Documents (or My Documents) folder. When SFR is used, all file operations such as opens and saves will take place in the client-side folder.

This is extremely useful when intergrading 2X with VDI Desktop, as the users can save directly to desktop, documnets without the need to save them on thier personal harddrive.

I would also love to see this feature added as it would remove confusion for the user. What we have done right now is to use domain policy to disable access to everything but the session drives. The Documents Folder still shows as many apps are hard coded to go there on a save or open dialog. The user get's an error message stating it's not allowed, then they must select the session drive. Not the most elegant, but it works for now.

I would also love to see this (and URL/Mailto redirects) working on the Mac client as well. We are starting to get a lot of requests for OSX clients especially with FileMaker.
