Opened window is not shown in task bar #5

Closed sven-n closed 4 years ago

sven-n commented 4 years ago

Version: v0.9.1-beta OS: Windows 8.1 Enterprise

When WhatsON is opened, it doesn't appear in the task bar. When other windows are in front and I want to focus a previously opened WhatsON, I either have to use Alt+Tab or click on the tray icon.

Now the issue: Sometimes I don't remember that I opened it before, and double-click on the tray icon. Unfortunately, this closes the window and I have to do another double-click to open it again - with additional loading time and lost focus.

I know, this behaves similar to CCTray or other internal Tools we use, but there it re-opens instantly. If you look at other programs (like MS Outlook or Skype) this is not a standard behavior. I would assume that every opened main window of a program appears in the task bar.

Thanks for reporting this. Actually there's an option in the configuration that allows you to display the tool in the taskbar:

Also, I totally agree that the time it currently takes for WhatsON to be displayed again from the tray is way too long. I'll keep this issue open to track this.

Thanks for the hint. To reduce the loading time and to keep the focus when re-opening, you could leave the dialog instance alive and just hide it instead of actually closing it.

My previous suggestion would also solve #10, #11 and #12. I think the higher memory consumption is negligible.

@sven-n sugestion was implemented to fix performance issues (#10). The behavior of minimize button wasn't changed.

Great, thank you 👍🏻
