The requested information was not provided and the RFE is being closed.
1) Uncheck 'Refresh affects only direct children' did not work. Changing preferences did not change anything on the next startup (I checked preferences and they were saved).
2) My RAM does not get disconnected in between RDz sessions. Next time I start RDz I don't need to connect. I am connected. To manually do 'Refresh' (and only on the 'lowers' folder' is exactly what I don't want to do. In short, I don't have disconnected RAM at startup. The whole point that information that is presented at startup may not be accurate.
Can you please try the following workaround and let us know if this satisfies your request. Thanks.
1) Uncheck the "Refresh affects only direct children" CARMA preference. It is checked by default.
2) instead of selecting the "Connect" action for a disconnected RAM, select the "Refresh" action. The refresh will cause a connect to occur (if needed) and it will then refresh all of the children under the RAM.
