¶ Amazon AppStream 2.0 Menu
StrinGnosis® is powered by AppStream 2.0 (an Amazon Web Services product), which has it's own menu. The menu has a combination of preference settings, as well as other useful tools.
The menu options include:
¶ Launch App
- Explorer - Allows you to navigate your Home Folder or Temporary Files. The Home Folder is where you will save your projects and other well data. Temporary Files are removed after each session ends, so users are not encouraged to use this folder. Please take care when saving projects and ensure you save them to the correct folder.
- StrinGnosis - Users can open multiple instances of the StrinGnosis application, in a single session.
¶ Switch Windows
When selected, this option will allow you to view all open folders and applications in the session. This is useful when using multiple instances of the StrinGnosis application.
¶ My Files
This is where you will find the Home and Temporary Files folders. Users can create new folders, upload, download, rename and delete files from this window.
¶ Clipboard
StrinGnosis® Online is a remote session which means you will need to use the Clipboard option to copy/paste to or from the session.
- Copy to local device - Use this to copy text from the online session and paste to your local machine.

This option will maximise the display, removing the browser and operating system interfaces from view. Pressing Esc on a keyboard will exit fullscreen mode.
¶ Toggle multiple monitors
This is a reasonably new feature by from Amazon Web Services. It allows the user to utilize additional monitors, which is excellent for viewing multiple feature modules. A common use-case for this is to use the "SideKick" on a second monitor to keep it in view and perform quick sensitivies.
