Preview Build Discussion / Re: If WACUP was closed minimized on next launch it doesn't start minimized
« Last post by dro on Today at 02:18:31 PM »Or I get back from trying to have some time off & then after looking into more pressing issues with the recent builds to get a chance to have look into what's actually going on. Now I'm in a position to do that I can see what seems to be going on where the main / playlist windows depending on the skin were briefly appearing & then going minimised with all of the other windows seemingly appearing a short while after most of the core & whatever the gen_ff plug-in is doing on loading has finished.
Initially I've found a way to avoid the the main / playlist windows briefly appearing which also helps to avoid all of the other windows appearing but when you then click to restore it the main / playlist windows will be restored into view as expected but it then takes another minimise & restore action to get everything else working.
So I'll need to spend more time on trying to get the other windows to behave without the extra step which should then allow things to work as expected on all counts as long as trying to hook into what the windows are doing will work. This'd be so much easier if I had my own modern skin engine plug-in or access to gen_ff's source code but I don't so it'll take however long to hopefully get things hacked in.
[edit]
That's taken ~3hrs in total to get something that appears to work whether forcing it to start minimised on loading or if remembering the last state & I no longer see the modern skin engine generated windows briefly appearing so I'm happier with it.
