ShowInTaskbar feature does not work

[microgynon]

Using the oneclick installer, ShowInTaskbar = false feature doesn't work. There's still a listing in the taskbar with a shaded "progress bar" which I find really annoying.

Changing it to ShowInTaskbar = true doesn't seem to make a difference either.

I suppose you mean "Minimize to tray" setting ? What OS ?

shaded "progress bar"

Can you provide a bit more info ? Using latest YAPA version on Windows 8.1 it works fine.

While YAPA is not minimized (ie; you can see the clock timer in the top right hand side of the screen), the icon for YAPA is visible on the taskbar.

I'd like to make it so that YAPA never show up on the taskbar. Tried ShowInTaskbar = false, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Using windows 10.

Yes, now I remember. Long time ago someone requested this feature. There is a setting named ShowInTaskbar with default value True. Only way to change it is by editing settings file with notepad. But now with click once installer it's a bit harder to find config file. MainWindow.xaml.cs this.ShowInTaskbar = Properties.Settings.Default.ShowInTaskbar;

and when minimized application will appear in taskbar

private void MainWindow_StateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.WindowState == WindowState.Minimized && MinimizeToTray == true && Properties.Settings.Default.ShowInTaskbar)
            {
                Hide();
                sysTrayIcon.Visible = true;
            }

            if (!Properties.Settings.Default.ShowInTaskbar)
            {
                if (this.WindowState == WindowState.Minimized)
                {
                    sysTrayIcon.Visible = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    this.ShowInTaskbar = Properties.Settings.Default.ShowInTaskbar;
                }
            }

        }

I will try to think of better way, maybe set this setting from startup arguments.

Actually I can think of four scenarios:

• only show in tray
• show in taskbar and tray
• minimized to tray (current behavior)
• never minimize to tray

[floatas]

All of these scenarios are implemented in YAPA2, with this nasty piece of code: https://github.com/YetAnotherPomodoroApp/YAPA-2/blob/master/YAPA/Plugins/MinimizeToTray/MinimizeToTray.cs#L128-L141

Cool! Is YAPA2 ready now?

[floatas]

Well, it works, at least on my machine. There are still things that I would like to improve, but probably there always be something. I will try to find some time this week and update its description with links to installer and all.

Fix from YAPA 2 can be ported here, just need to add one more setting.
