Hi,
maybe i'm just blindstruck or plain stupid but when i accidentally hit the
"hide" entry in the qjackctl popup menu [usually happens when i want to
reset the xrun count], there's no obvious way to make it visible again.
I figure this hiding is some "kde thing", right? Bummer, when one doesn't
run kde. Is there any other way? If not would it make sense to place the
"hide" entry at some other spot in the popup menu? The topmost is the one
which gets hit accidentally the most i figure (at least i hit it pretty
often).

Hi Florian,
Sorry to be so late.

What WM are you using? If you're on KDE or gnome you can take advantage of
the system tray icon (other WMs probably show a sticky icon somewhere). I
think you probably know that.
Doesn't your WM, whatever it be, have a sort of system tray panel that
presents a minimized window list? If all else fails there's the place to
restore your hidden qjackctl main window visibility.

Think of it. That is probably hapenning because you keep the main qjackctl
main window near the top of the screen. Am i right? In that place the
context menu pops up _below_ the mouse cursor pointer, making it easy for
you to click on the first menu item by mistake ("Hide" in this case).
OTOH, if you move the main window towards the bottom of the screen, the
menu pops up _above_ the mouse pointer. The first probable option to be
mistaken will be now "Quit". At least this time it will ask if you're sure
:)
What now?

Well, it seems that the "hide" thingy does not "minimize" the window
in the
normal way. Of course i can see my minimized windows in the window list, but
qjackctl just disappears completely after pressing hide. It does so both in
fluxbox and in gnome.
It seems to me as if qjackctl closes its X window completely but keeps on
running. Or maybe it "hides" its main widget which is of course not the same
as minimizing..
I don't think gnome has a system tray. It does have soemthing called
"notification area" but qjackctl doesn't show there either when
"hidden" (it
hides pretty efectively ;))

Ok, two screenhots:
qjackctl before hiding:

after hiding:

Right, but this is not an acceptable workaround for me. I take a look at the
source.
I suppose this:
// Main form visibility requester slot.
void qjackctlMainForm::toggleMainForm (void)
{
m_pSetup->saveWidgetGeometry(this);
if (isVisible()) {
hide();
} else {
show();
raise();
setActiveWindow();
}
}
has to look kinda similar to this (at least it should include a test for the
availability of the system tray):
#ifdef CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRAY
// If we're not quitting explicitly and there's an
// active system tray icon, then just hide ourselves.
if (!m_bQuitForce && isVisible() && m_pSetup->bSystemTray
&& m_pSystemTray) {
m_pSetup->saveWidgetGeometry(this);
hide();
bQueryClose = false;
}
#endif
(from queryClose()). But i just quickly glanced at the code. I couldnt;'
find the popup and what method it calls exactly with that short glance, but
that looks like an ok candidate

Oh, i see there's an option in the Setup dialog "enable system tray icon".
It was off. After turning it on, qjackctl doesn't disappear completely when
hiding (the original unpatched version).
Ok, above modification still seems to do the right thing (tm) imho. When
enable system tray is off, it gets minimized normally.

Please check whether you really have the system tray icon enabled on
qjackctl setup. I don't grok gnome at all, but I remember to test on
fedora core 1 (ccrma) and it was showing up alright on the tray area.
Dunno if it's called "notification area" or whatever on gnome.
OTOH would you try toggling "keep child windows always on top" setup
option? It has a perverse effect on the window tray list behavior, at
least on KDE, regarding whether the qjackctl widgets are minimized or
hidden. On KDE however, almost every behavioral issue is configurable,
provided you find the right knob to tweak under the kcontrol mess :)
Just report your findings, please.

Hi,
of course it was my error. The "enable system tray icon" option was toggled
off. With this option enabled the tray icon shows fine in the "notofication
area" or as an icon on the desktop (when no notification area is on any
panel).
But when the "enable system tray icon" option is off should the hide button
still completely hide it or should it just be minimized in this case? I
would take the latter because if it were hidden w/o system tray icon it is
not restorable anymore.
The modification i posted in the other mail produces this latter behaviour
afaics..

Yes, it has already been taken care of. Thanks for your suggestion. The
menu item text now also reflects this, showing "Hide" or "Minimize"
when
appropriate.
Already committed to CVS [qjackctl 0.2.12.98].
Cheers.

great :) btw: these cool rubber band style connection lines i see in the
screenshots. which version are they in (not in the debian version
seemingly)? I think i'm just gonna try current cvs :)
