Zoho Assist unattended session opens in browser instead of desktop app.

Zoho Assist unattended session opens in browser instead of desktop app.

Hello, I have the Zoho assist desktop app installed and when I use it to connect to an unattended session the new connection will open in a web browser tab. The session used to open up in a new window from the desktop app. 
When I start a new user support session the new session opens in the desktop app as it should. How can I set unattended sessions to open in the desktop app again?
There is an option in the general section of the app preferences where I can choose between native client or web app for the technician console and have windows native client selected.

The header stays at the top of the page however the footer does not. It appears the footer actually serves no purpose as it seems to rise up to underneath the header (see image). Is there a way to lock the footer to the bottom of the page? Otherwise what is the point of it? Image demonstrating what I mean. https://ibb.co/cJY1xZ4

                                                                                                            Can we have Backorder Management ?

                                                                                                            Would like to request a product catalog feature where the admin can export "items" along with selected attributes (e.g.: product name, size, price, etc) in a professional template as a PDF document.  Since product pictures and the product attributes are already saved in our system DB, it would be a natural extension to just export it out as a catalog for customers.  I've been duplicating this feature in other apps to make a product catalog.  Having a central repository of "items" makes good sense,

                                                                                                            We have thousands of items, some of which need to be entered on the fly by desk people. We don't want abstracts like the vendor's part number in our SKU or Item name. It would make order entry much easier if the context search in the items table would
