Yes, that works well. I use Linux Mint Cinnamon and discovered that the autostart feature needs a delay or else the GLaunch icon appears on the desktop and not in the system tray. My glaunch.gambas.desktop file now looks like this: -

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/home/charlie/Dropbox/gambas/glaunch/glaunch.gambas
Hidden=false
Name=glaunch
X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true
X-MATE-Autostart-Delay=3
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=3
Does the Showtoolbar checkbox show correctly? it should be a toggle menu so the text does not change just the checkbox state.
I still think there is an issue here.

Thanks, Bruce, I will advise if I find any other issues. :D

Yes, i was suprised to see the tray icon worked on your cinnamon desktop while i only ever got the icon, then i found i had to add the SystemTray app to the panel.
I had the same issue as you and found in my cinamon desktop menu i had the Startup Applications (cinnamon) application and just like in MATE i was able to set the delay there.

I have now added the X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=3 the the autostart option :)
Thank you

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Scratch that, this seems to be a cinnamon only bug for me. and not just the showtoolbar menu , ANY toggle set just stays the same although the functions are operating, on gnome and mate it works just as expected.

Is there a way to hide the program showing on the task changer?

Yes sorry (had to investigate that)

seems setting the forms NoTabFocus to true fixes that :)

Updated the archive in first post.

Cheers :)

Hi Bruce,

Yes, that has fixed the [Alt]+[Tab] issue, thanks.

I clicked the option to change the setting to not show the file path and although this worked I got an error:-

Doh!! lol
Cheers again Charlie.

Yep a silly error
If m.Picture Then GridView1[GridView1.Rows.Max, 0].Picture = m.Picture

Needed to be...

If m.Picture Then
GridView1[GridView1.Rows.Max, 0].Picture = m.Picture
Endif

i forget about that right hand evaluation thing sometimes
Sorry about that (updated archive)

I also reported the toggle menu and cinnamon issue on the bugtracker, will soon have it fixed...

I have tried to fix that menu bug on cinnamon but cannot.
I've modified the application to not use the popup menu if on cinnamon tray icon. (not uploaded it yet)

But I found it is ONLY on the tray icon menu you get this error.

The same menu pops up if you left click the tray icon then right click in the list window (outside of the GridView)
That menu works just fine and is the same menu.
It's a cinnamon TrayIcon popup menu only specific bug.

I'll check this out in the next stable release.

It may have fixed another issue with my desktop when 2 TrayIcons are showing.
