[TC 11.02] BTM hides behing TC's main window

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC 11.02] BTM hides behing TC's main window

Post by *petermad »

If I save the Background Transfer Window position so it is placed over TC's main window, then the dialog will get hidden behind TC's main window the next time the BTM is opened via the Copy dialog (F5 -> F2). Hence always a problem when running TC in Full screen.

It goes back to at least TC 8.0, I just never observed it before, because I don't run TC in full screen, and I haven't saved the BTM position until recently.

If I open the BTM via the menu, from a button or from the command line there i no problem, the window is opened on top of TC's window.

This is actually intentional! When you copy with F5 - F2, it is assumed that you want to continue working in Total Commander, so the focus is returned to Total Commander (not only when saving the position of the dialog).

When you open the BTM via menu, the dialog is initially empty, so TC focuses it so you can e.g. pause it or add files to it.

And it is okay in this way.
