Skiptool steals focus

[gazoo]

Ok, not exactly skiptool. When I run the queue or transcode, the DOS windows that popup running mencoder or whatever don't go away unless I go to the mouse an click on pvrx2 which is now in the background.

Short of installing that plugin (I forgot the name) that grabs focus back every 10 seconds, is there another way around this? I am running VMR9 custom maximized.

Thanks.

I thought I started it minimized, but I'll look into it again.


Here's how it starts any program it runs which seems to look like it would start hidden.
It might be once you call stattik's batch file, that part isn't hidden.

pi.CreateNoWindow = true;
pi.ErrorDialog = false;
pi.UseShellExecute = false;
pi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process p = Process.Start(pi);

I believe it is during statik's scripts.

Anyway to alleviate that?

I looked at Stattik's scripts, and it seems like he runs everything minimized as well. You see a window popup, not just loose focus, correct?

[gazoo]

yes, window + lost focus to that window

Ok, I just figured out what it was. It is the queueit script that is stealing the focus. I normally do it via queueing, but when I wasn't doing that I was running transcode right away. I can't remember now, but I think when I ran it right away I saw 2 windows. However, the normal mode of operation for me is to use the queue. So, the queueit kick off script is the one that stays up in this mode.

I'll check that. My PVR isn't working right now, so I didn't get a chance to look at this last night as I was scrambling to get it going again.


EDIT: You're right. It starts normal not hidden. I'll get an update out.

Try this dll.
Unzip the file and put it in the gbpvr\plugins\skiptool dir

Thanks. Will try tonight.
