Feature Request: Minimize to tray on start-up

[rvanbekkum]

Hi, I'm using your application since today and it works great! Only thing I was missing is an option to make WhatsApp minimize to the tray directly on start-up. That is, I don't want to see WhatsApp after logging in each time, but only when I actually want to see it (for example, after receiving a message).

I was about to ask the same :)

I run WhatsApp Tray on Autostart. Everytime I log in to Windows I get this WhatsApp Window hammered in my face...

This AutoHotkey script runs WhatsappTray application, waits for WhatsApp window and minimize it in to the systray.

`

NoTrayIcon

ProcessId(exe_name) { Process, Exist, %exe_name% return %ErrorLevel% }

PID := ProcessId("whatsapp.exe") RUN "%ProgramFiles%\whatsapptray\whatsapptray.exe"

Sleep 8000

if (0 == PID) { WinWait ahk_exe whatsapp.exe WinActivate ahk_exe whatsapp.exe WinWaitActive ahk_exe whatsapp.exe,,2 Send !{Space} Sleep 100 Send n } `

Thanks for your contribution, I don't have "AutoHotKey", I am trying to execute it in a .bat file:

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "start-process P:\Archivos\Programas\WhatsappTray.lnk -WindowStyle Minimized"

but it don't minimize it, do you have idea how to minimize it with batch code?

Thanks!

I added a setting for this, which can be configured via the config file (appData.ini) or via the settings when minimized.

Hello D4koon! 

Now, I try your WhatsappTrayV1.4.0, but the Start minimized function does not work. 

Tested on desktop W7, x64 - with WhatsApp x86 and WhatsApp x64.

The log file is attached in email.

Hello Alfoxxx,

thx for your feedback. I uploaded a version 1.4.1 which may fix the problem.

Edit: After writing this i now noticed that the delay is sometimes to short atleast on my pc and WhatsApp decides to pop up again. I think i will increase that delay with the next version...

[CryptoSiD]

With 1.4.1 it goes to the tray for like 1 second and then it get back to the taskbar.
