Settings dont load properly #8

Lots of bugs with the autostart functionality ;) Some settings (or it's mainly one I've found that) doesn't load properly I think.

The Ponies are always on top of other windows setting, 2015-12-26 00_09_35-start if I start via the autostart then even tho I have that setting saved in my profile, they are not above everything :disappointed:

If I open the options, the setting is checked, contrary to it's effect. And I have to uncheck it, then check it again to, and then save for it to work.

Note: If I launch the app normally then the Ponies are always on top of other windows setting works...

Running v1.58 btw

I am unable to recreate this - if I start via autostart with "always on top" setting enabled - it is respected. I'm on Win 10 here.

If you disable the "Show ponies in taskbar" setting in your autostart profile - is that loaded correctly? i.e. Once your ponies load, does the taskbar icon go away?

I am on Windows 7 and am not using autostart. Ponies sometimes really do not want to be layered in the front. Restarting desktop ponies does not help. Last time this happened I had to close everything and restart my PC to get rid of whatever was causing it. However, I have not figured out when exactly this happens. So not a lot of useful information I can give here. But this happens very rarely so thank you for making it as reliable as it is ^^

Do the ponies get stuck behind every window, or just certain windows (i.e. for specific applications) when this happens?

RedsBone commented 7 years ago

They got stuck behind every window I tried. I have a new machine now with Windows 10 and this issue has not occurred yet. Maybe it was something specific with Win 7 or my old machine. Or the programs I used to run. For one thing, I remember often launching Desktop Ponies, Eclipse IDE and Windows Media Player all at once. The not-being-in-the-foreground happened sometimes. But, as I said, I never found a pattern to reproduce it reliably.

@RedsBone #13?

RedsBone commented 7 years ago

@LoganDark Basically the same thing, although it happened on two separate occasions, and on two different machines, and two different operating systems.
