Possible bug: Cumulus not minimizing on start-up

Post by zznwky »

Using Cumulus 1.9.1 Build 989 in Windows 7 32 bit Pro.

As I have Cumulus in my start-up group, where I set it to run minimized (I've checked, rechecked and rebuilt the shortcut).

In previous versions this was working just fine, however with this build, the program starts fine, downloads and processes the data and then runs just fine, but it doesn't minimize.

Is this by design (it is processing a lot of stuff before the main screen gets focus back)?
Or is it an undocumented feature (i.e. a bug).

Thanks

Richard

Have you set Cumulus itself (in the display settings) to start minimised, or just the shortcut setting?

Just the shortcut. Wait a moment.....

Set the display setting and now it starts minimised. Many thanks Steve.

Shame it doesn't follow the windows setting, but it's your code so I shall carry on appreciating it and you.

Thanks again.

Richard
