Mac OS X 10.5 – Enable Bonjour Browser in ScreenSharing.app

I came across this today while browsing some plist files….
You can enable a “Bonjour Browser” which allows you to add list of computers you connect to via the new ScreenSharing application in Leopard. To enable this run the following command in your terminal:

defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1

Now relaunch ScreenSharing.app and you’ll have a nice browser to select computers from.  You can also add a computer to “My Computers” which leaves the connection in the list.

Enjoy…

Note: to change the value back run the same command and replace the one with a zero.
