disappear of Flash FXP icon when minimized

americium · 10-10-2002, 12:05 PM

well, as the topic suggests sometimes when I minimize Flash FXP it's icon misteriously disappears from the system tray.

i can't open it again and have to close it from Windows Task Manager. this is quite annoying if i run more then one window minimized as i have to close them all and not always save the queue list

i am running version 2.0 RC2 build 862 on Win XP pro. is this bug completely fixed with RC3? as i didnt see anything concerning that one in the anouncements part of RC3.

thanks

hum....right click the clock then Notification, and adjust FlashFXP as always visible or something similar

thanks, but which clock are you talking about ?

He is talking about the clock on the task bar/bottom bar in Windows. Then right click on it -> Customize Notifications ... -> and change FlashFXP to 'Always show'.

Also I would recommend updating to the latest build of FlashFXP..

Let us know how it goes.

I believe there was a fix for that in RC3.

Thats a bug in WinXP, not in FFXP. It likes to hide my mIRC too - when you open the tray (using the <<), it's missing and can't be restored. This still happens with FFXP Build 880 so it's very likely a WinXP problem.

ohh okay. .thanks for providing us with that information phlux.

Not to cause dramas, but ive been using XP for a while and have not experienced that problem

I too have used winxp and found out real fast to uncheck the hide the icon button., I lost a few, but never the fxp icon. Probably the reason was I used ftp and never left it inactive,long enough for it to be hidden. I lost a few inactive icons real fast.
Might suggest to right click on the taskbar and go to properities
go to taskbar and uncheck the hide icon button, I found if you leave it checked you will lose icons that are not active.This was the best measure I found to keep from losing icons.

just my two cents
