[Bug+Feature Request] Minimize to system tray

Post by *Xtrician »

Bug:
After deleting\coping TC not minimize to system tray again.
I Need to restart TC.

FR:
When i press Alt+Tab i see the TC icon.
Its not need to be like that. TC need to minimize like all other programs today.
So to ghisler please change the TC system tray and make it more "real".

You need to set the option "minimize to tray" in the configuration (page "operation").

Then maybe you want to uncheck the mentioned Option?

Then TC does not minimize to the systemtray but to the task bar at the lower margin of the desktop.

for the bug report: Can you please describe a step by step instruction how to reproduce the error?

I can minimize TC the maximize, copy or delete and minimize again. No problem at all.

2Xtrician:

Yes, odd window behaviour happens occasionally here too. But it's not just TC that becomes stubborn, other open windows can suddenly refuse to minimise or even close. There's plenty of free memory, all tasks work OK, and the pattern seems random. On my system, I found that repeatedly minimising and restoring all open windows with <Winkey>D usually restores normality. I tend to suspect the skinning apps like WindowBlinds of being the guilty party. Do you use these?

1. Minimize to tray seems working fine here.

2. I suppose it's a feature rather than a bug that you can see TC icon in Alt+Tab "list" when TC is minimized to tray. So that you can reactivate TC by "Alt+Tab > switch to TC icon > Press Enter" even when the tray icon get lost (that happens in Windows sometimes).


By the way, here is a question / feature requests:

Could TC minimize to taskbar when clicking minimize button and to system tray when clicking close button? This might be done by tweaking the registry (not sure :oops: ), but it would be great if there is an internal solution.

PS: Just searched forum for related topic and got a great tip posted by Reva (Why there is no thumb up emoticon at this forum :wink: )
1. Press [WIN]+, now focus is in system tray
2. Use [<--] or [-->] to locate the blue floppy
3. Hit [ENTER]
