P.s:Will gesture be enabled again in future updates?
I'm changing the UI so that gestures (and tabs) won't be required.
I'm also making a landscape orientation.
In the future it will be converted in to a Cascades app.
OK, so I pushed out an update today towards my goal for an improved UI.
Some icons rotate (the toolbar) to show orientation detection is working.
Also, the settings/about dialogs have been improved. I removed the about tab so there's only two tabs right now. These will be combined.
Very amazing application, thanks for porting xsacha!
I noticed something interesting in the latest version, landscape mode can be used without causing the Playbook to switch all applications to landscape. Was that done on purpose?
Can you use this to transfer to other computers not on your network? I tried sending something to my sister in Grand Bend. Put in her IP address, but it didn't find her, although she had the program running on her laptop.
Great little program though.
Edit: From what I read, it is just for over the LAN. Be great if you could do it over the net too.

You wouldn't necessarily want this feature. Simply because it's a security issue. Anyone on the internet could send you files without your permission. Dukto never prompts for this.
However, if you wanted to do this, you could unblock the port from your firewall (forward the port on your router). That is, port 4644.
Something is funky about the orientation of the app. Essentially the app locks in portrait mode, even though the GUI within the app rotates to make it workable in landscape, the application window still remains in portrait mode. E.g. when I start it in landscape, it shows the splash screen in portrait, swipe from bottom in landscape does not bring up home screen and is treated as a swipe from left...
Edit: Also while the playbook app correctly adds/removes the windows PC as soon as I start/close the program in Windows, the windows program detects the playbook coming online but does not detect it going offline (even though I confirmed with telnet that PB app does close the 4644 port, bug in the windows client?).
I installed it on all three PBs in our household and am very impressed.
The one tweak I would love to see is if it could detect names of PBs on the network or something similar. Maybe it could store previously connected IP and allow you to name that IP or just have a dropdown of IPs?

Which name should I use? It has a bluetooth name and a wireless file sharing name although I figured most people left this as-is.
I can request device identifying information and grab pin and maybe show last four digits of pin.
