it was unskinned in some versions of PT iirc,. in those brief periods of time, there were absolutely no problems with closing, minimising, the app, ever, and it never once lagged or hanged/crashed, and also, it was a good look overall, it seemed it "blends in" with the rest of the win32 programs we use, like, a universal design language is desirable, to me at least. this is all ofcourse my personal views., what you're saying (may not work on older win10 versions) might be true as well, but tbh, you've got to upgrade win10 sometime, like sooner or later, it's a big security risk lol, and I've seen Devs dropping support for very older win10 versions, like, version 1709, even 1803.

ze0ss commented 4 years ago

For win10 users with dark mode on and the default Popcorn Time theme, yes.. How about everyone else?

it's the same for all win10 users on or after v1809 did you read the last part of my previous reply? 😅 some devs drop support for older versions because being a win10 user, you have to upgrade sometime, sooner or later, because it's a security nightmare to have an older version of the os.

So, ive seen the "fix" on this thread (to disable clean folder), but i cant delete the temp files? i have no idea whats going on, i dont have permission to delete the temp even being administrator and having "taken ownership". maybe this is whats causing the issue.

refex commented 4 years ago

Same here but I noticed that if I terminate all torrent file sharing, then it let me close the app.

qdubz commented 3 years ago

You can "fix" it by disabling the "Clear tmp folder after closing app" in the Cache directory settings, but you will have to manually delete the downloaded files every now and then

WORKS.

@qdubz Updating to the latest build and having to do none of that also works since this is fixed for months now...

i mean...considering i just downloaded it 3 days ago, i'm pretty up to date ;)

Did you download a dev build, or a build from the website? I'm assuming the latter, which means you're using a build from ~April. If you were using a dev build, it would help if you provided some logs since that problem should be fixed.

qdubz commented 3 years ago

Ah ok, valid point. I'll pull down a dev build then. Thanks.
