View Full Version : flashfxp "disappears"

..:::SG:::..

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"

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

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.

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?

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.

I was going to send you a private message but it appears you have them turned off.

I also have this problem, and by unchecking thehide inactive options on the taskbar does NOT fix this. I routinely lose 2 out of 4 minimized flashfxp icons. Strangely tho, it does not happen to any other applications so i wonder if it is a purely a winXP problem?

I am using 2.1 build 924 on win xp pro, and still have exactly the same problem. I wonder what is the problem ?

Here is the step to reproduce the problem (on my computer) :

1. make sure minimize to tray is on
2. click minimize box
3. right click tray icon to bring the menu
4. select "Restore FlashFXP"
5. the window dispeear !!

i just tried this multiple times on the same config and i can't reproduce the problem. are you using registered or unregged version?

registered version.
For some reason it happens to some users, not others.

I got the same problem and it's happens both when "Hide inactive Icons" option is on or off!

Flashfxp disappears from the taskbar but still is a running process in the background.

Windows XP Pro SP1
FlashFXP v2.1 build 922 Registered

jcksbc, *DO NOT* post same thing in 2 threads. pick one and follow it.
build 922 is old, upgrade to 924, or try beta releases if you are brave

DSquare, "exact same problem here too" does not explain what version of flashfxp, os, all the other REQUIRED info that everybody must post during bug report
