flashfxp "disappears"

..:::SG:::.. · 03-04-2002, 11:25 AM

it's been doing this since i switched to 1.4 i think...
i set my flashfxp windows to minimise to the system tray. but sometimes they completely disappear from the system tray, and there is no way i can get back to it. in the taskmanager it's still running, and when i check my downloads the files are still being downloaded. i'm guessing the same goes with uploads..
now i'm not sure if this is a windows (running XP pro) bug or a flashfxp bug, but flashfxp is the only program that "disappears"

Did you try pressing the F9 key ?

..:::SG:::.. · 03-05-2002, 07:05 AM

what does that do?

Minimises to the tray - the opposite of what you want.

SG, that's a bug. Fixed in the most recent public build, I believe.

yeah my mistake, i just realised i downloaded build 835 but havn't actually installed it yet... still on 833, that may be why. i'll let you know if it happens while using build 835

i upgraded to the new build, but the bug is still there...

Doesn't winXP have some sort of feature to hide tray icons?
Make sure it's not hidding FlashFXP on you.

Yea, it "hides" inactive tray icons. Tap the arrow to see if it's there.

that's one of the first features i turned OFF when i installed XP...

Maybe a bu^H^Hfeature in XP makes it disappear nontheless. I'm using XP and have yet to see that.

I get this problem too! In fact, I get it almost all the time! And I know for sure it's not "hidden" in the tray icon. Since I had it set to "Always Show". This bug is really inconvenient since I have no way to find out when my d/l is finished! And I have to guess!

I have been using Flsh with XP Pro for months now, from the date it came out, but I have yet to see something like this.
It looks more like a corruption of XP display setting, rather then the program.
Does it happen with other programs, or only flash? And did you play with some of those Win XP interface toys, that came out recently?

PixelaseR · 04-22-2002, 01:58 PM

This "only" happen with FlashFXP. Never happened on any of the other program I have.
I have not toyed with any of the MS PowerToy yet. I don't think they'd help much.

PixelaseR give the new build 846 a try, Some issues with the tray icon component were discovered and resolved, Perhaps this has resolved the problem.
