If WACUP was closed minimized on next launch it doesn't start minimized

[komi5]

Version 1.99.32.21640

If WACUP was minimized then application closed on next start it will show weird generic WACUP window with playlist being empty and additional windows such as clock waveform seeker and lyrics missing until you press on taskbar icon to restore window then it will restore properly.

So it is not properly remembering minimized state on next launch.

What skin are you using? The modern skins not working correctly on starting minimised is known to happen for some & there's little I can do to resolve it without making my own plug-in to handle that type of skin.

The default one. I think it's Bento.

That's a modern skin. I'll see if I can workaround the plug-in but I don't think there'll be a quick fix for it soon.

Perhaps prevent it from starting minimized then if it's not functioning properly and always start with restored window then since a user would need to click on taskbar icon twice anyways to properly minimize and this way we would save one click + have proper window at start up? Is that possible?

[komi5]

OK I managed to get a workaround by setting up shortcut to run winamp and setting it to run in maximized window.

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.
