Does that fix also include updates for us Canadians to view coverart?

Yes, if you download the file in post #624 it will download cover art on the fly (i.e when you select a movie in the movie list) for you. If it doesn't let me know. The next full release will download cover art during the database update. Sorry I thought I would have this taskbar issue buttoned up by now.

Load default works great now... still task bar on top. Could it be me?

No, I am still getting it as well. Nothing I do seems to work. By all reports, the settings I have should prevent this from happening, but yet it happens. I can completely hide the taskbar while my program is operating, but if my program crashes then you are taskbarless. I'm going to consult my guru buddy and see if he has an idea for me.

Hey Snooze,

I think I figured out the problem after talking to my buddy last night, I am pretty sure that the task bar is not actually moving in front of the app, but instead Windows is drawing the windows in the wrong order. I need you to try something for me:

1) recreate the taskbar problem.
2) Tab through the fields and back to the movie list

Does the taskbar go away? If not let me know and I'll send you the latest version, where the problem has at least been made intermittent instead of constant. On that verison the above works and I think I came up witha work around. Let me know.

If I alt/tab back to TX Desktop the window task bar will remain hidden until I do arrow up/down key moves. The task bar does not stay on top if I use any other commands, and it is not on top if I am in movie viewer, or control O or control S. Its just the arrow moves in TX Desktop. Intermittently it will will be on top just opening the app too.

Hey Snooze,

I'm confused, does my app lose focus when the task bar pops up? If not, just try hitting the tab key 2 times and see if the taskbar goes away. Please let me know what happens. If this works then I know how to get rid of the problem.

As for the taskbar showing up over the app on startup, I think i can fix that as well. I'll make some changes to the next beta.

Thanks,
DH

No it does not lose focus when the task bar shows up (I can see why your confused, I thought that was strange too, however the App in the tray is still selected, so it has the focus). Yes tab 2 times fixes it until the next use of arrow up or down is pressed.
