Preferences window when using service #217

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When using the newly added service entries "Extract to...", "Extract to 
Desktop" and "Extract to 
Current Folder", the preferences window comes up. Also after extracting or when 
canceling when 
using these services, the unarchiver app stays open.

This is apparently really hard to fix. I've put in a kludge for now, but it's 
not going to 
solve the problem 100%.

If anyone knows how to detect whether your app was launched because of a 
service 
request or normally, then please tell me.

Well, I don't really know how it works, but it should not be different from 
normally opening the application by 
double clicking a archive, right? When I normally open The Unarchiver by 
selecting an archive I also do not see 
the preferences window, only when I open The Unarchiver by opening the 
application directly. When using the 
service I assume you open the application using an archive?

If this is not the case, may I suggest an option in the preferences to not 
automatically open preferences at all, so 
you can avoid the problem all together if you really want to?

The problem is that I get a message right away that the user has clicked a 
file, so I can 
avoid opening the preferences window, but when the service is started, the 
message 
arrives some time later. So I have to wait for a while before opening the 
window to see if 
I get any service message. If I wait too long, I annoy the user, if I wait too 
short a time 
the message might not arrive on time.

Very frustrating. I hope someone out there knows a better solution.

Did you fix this in version 2.2? Because it does not seem to be a problem 
anymore :)

Well, there's the kludge in place, which fixes it some of the time, but it's 
not 100% 
certain it always works.
