Verify Checksums dialog - Obsolete Background button?

[Biozynotiker]

Since TC starts the "Verify Checksum from file" dialog in background per default,
the "Background" button seems obsolete or wrong named.

Nearly all TC "background" buttons sends the current task to background mode,
but this one does only "minimize", because this dialog starts already in the background mode.
IMHO this button is obsolete, because there is already a "minimize" button on the window title.

I'am pretty sure, that this dialog doesn't start automaticly in background mode on some older versions,
but can't find information in the history.txt ...

This is intentional, because the function was using a modal dialog initially. If I didn't add this button, most people wouldn't realize that it's now run in a background thread.

This Background button is not so bad. It has at least some purpose, to serve as a hint about previously unavailable functionality, which would be easy to miss otherwise. I don't say I like it very much, but I do understand why it was added.

But there's one even "better", the Advanced -> button in FTP connection properties. Something also changed in that dialog when it was added, it was split in two pages. But why the button was added, it remains a mystery for me. It's not like anyone can miss the tabs at the top. In the end, it's only confusing. Because when you have an extra button in dialog, you expect to get something extra when you press it. But just switching to another page of the same dialog? What a dissapointment... ;)

Some people really need to be pushed on a function to use it. It's really to protect me from excessive support mails, sorry.
