Cluster GUI blocks Desktop Client UI when launched (feature request / UX improvement) #10
Description
Hi 👋
first of all: great project — the Proxmox Desktop Client is very close to exactly what I was looking for as a Windows-based Proxmox admin. The VM list + SPICE workflow works really well.
I noticed a UX issue when launching the Cluster GUI from within the Desktop Client:
When the Cluster GUI is opened, the Desktop Client itself becomes blocked / unusable until the Cluster GUI window is closed. This makes it hard to quickly switch back to the VM list or open a different console while keeping the Cluster GUI open.
Feature request / suggestions
Ideally, it would be great if:
The Cluster GUI could be opened non-blocking (separate window / separate process), so the Desktop Client UI remains usable.
However, if this is technically complex or not possible, I want to explicitly say that I would be completely fine with a much simpler solution, which would probably already satisfy many users:
A button like “Open Cluster GUI in Browser”, which simply launches the configured Proxmox host IP / URL in the system’s default browser.
For my workflow, this browser-based option would already be fully sufficient and a safe, acceptable solution. The Desktop Client could then stay focused on VM access and console workflows, while the full Web UI runs in parallel in the browser.
Thanks again for the work on this project — it’s already extremely useful 👍
