ZProcess: Minimize to Tray

[zehd]

I have added the feature to have ZProcess minimize to the tray and also hide all of the support windows... comskip, ffmpeg, hunter etc...

You have the ability to turn the 'Minimize to Tray' feature on and off from the Utility tab. If you check or uncheck the checkbox, you will be asked to restart ZProcess...

When Unchecked, ZProcess should behave exactly as it has to this point. Unchecked is the default...

When you have it Checked, and ZProcess is minimized, you will no longer see ZProcess, 'DOS' window for comskip, ffmpeg or mencoder etc, or Hunter. Instead you'll see the yellow lightening bolt in the System Tray.

If you Double-click the icon, ZProcess will be restored. The support windows will also be shown. If you Right-Click, you can either restore or exit ZProcess. If you choose to exit, upon closing, the support windows will be shown...

Although Hunter (shown or hidden) is designed to watch for orphan processes, there is a very rare circumstance where if ZProcess is killed from the Task Manager, the support windows may still continue to run. If you are concerned, check the task Manager, for the orphaned processes, and kill them.

I have not done a full release. I think that Version 926 seems pretty stable, and I don't want to confuse anyone...

The latest version of ZProcess with the new feature is 939 and is only available from this post...

Good luck...

ZProcess version 1.0.939 .... (removed)

Found my first glitch, sort of bearable, gonna try and fix though...

For each Transcode on the fly, on the MVP, there's a new Lightening bolt in the tray. ZProcess is not given the chance to clean up, when killed...

For anyone following this, I have fixed the problem, and it's working quite well...

Currently I'm working on adding VLC as a transcoder. That too is working well, but I'm hanging back from releasing it.

I'm hoping to have control of audio and picture qualities, like with MEncoder.

So far, it looks like VLC hands down for speed and stability and sync, (over ffmpeg and mencoder...)

Newest alpha introduces the Minimize2Tray, Choice of re-encoding techniques, and use of VLC as a Trancoder...
