9 years ago Agreed. It's great to have a Dock icon and menu bar during configuration (and
if The Unarchiver is opened
directly), but there should definitely be an option to hide it during normal
unarchiving (when launched by
opening/dropping a file).Original comment by s...@sidneysm.com on 14 Jul 2009 at 4:27

9 years ago I think the current behaviour (showing dock icon only when being explicitly
invoked) works fine. At best this
should be kept as a documented hidden option, since it adds unnecessary
complexity to a simply program.Original comment by yuan...@gmail.com on 15 Jul 2009 at 4:41

9 years ago Actually, the current behaviour is to never show an icon in 1.6.1 and always
show an icon in the 2.0 beta, to help
with testing.
There is no way I know of to programmatically change the appearance of the
icon. The only way to do it is to
change an entry in Info.plist, which means it has to be done the previous time
the program ran, as Info.plist is
read before the program is run. So it is not possible to just show an icon on
just some invocations, as far as I
know.Original comment by paracel...@gmail.com on 15 Jul 2009 at 10:50

9 years ago Take a look at the TransformProcessType call. You can use it to give a dock
icon and menu bar to a UI
element or background only process.Original comment by s...@sidneysm.com on 15 Jul 2009 at 2:01

9 years ago That does look useful, even though it might not work on 10.4? Well, it's no big
deal
if 10.4 just retains the old behaviour. I'll look into using that.Original comment by paracel...@gmail.com on 15 Jul 2009 at 3:16

9 years ago IIRC, in 10.4 it only works with LSBackgroundOnly applications, not LSUIElement
(which
won't work for The Unarchiver because LSBackgroundOnly windows can't become
key).
But yeah, you get graceful degradation.Original comment by s...@sidneysm.com on 15 Jul 2009 at 10:03

9 years ago I implemented having the icon appear when starting the app directly.
I'll leave the question as to whether there should still be an option for some
later version.Original comment by paracel...@gmail.com on 16 Jul 2009 at 1:26

9 years ago Well, if it comes to voting, I vote for also being able to have an icon when
uncompressing. Sorry for opening a dup, No idea it was related to having an
icon.Original comment by m...@federicojm.com on 11 Oct 2010 at 5:35

9 years ago Since the current behaviour of Archive Utility is to just always show an icon,
I think I will switch to that. It should make things easier when there is a
crash, too.
(Although people might then complain less loudly and I won't find out about
crashes as quickly, but oh well.)Original comment by paracel...@gmail.com on 29 Aug 2011 at 10:25

9 years ago Using version 3.1 (legacy-version as well as the AppStore-version), I have no
option to disable the dock-icon when extracting files, as it did in previous
versions.
Any chance of adding this feature again?Original comment by josso...@gmail.com on 24 Apr 2012 at 8:24

9 years ago Probably not. The code that handled this was kind of fragile, and it everything
works better without it.Original comment by paracel...@gmail.com on 24 Apr 2012 at 10:12
