Re[2]: Start minimized and new messages in Inbox bugs (was 1.54 Beta/17)
Hello Marck, Similar happens to me. The Bat! shows 3 new messages in the inbox but when I click on the inbox, the message count jumps to 8 and there are actually 8 new ones. (of course numbers are examples and not actual number of messages). This happens a lot, but can't pin down any particular thing that causes it. I do not start TB minimized, so that is not the problem. -- Best regards, The Bat!

Hello Peter, 20 Dec 2001, 10:45:29, you wrote: PG> 1. TB cannot not start in minimized mode now with Minimize to system PG> tray option. The icon appears in the tray but TB doesn't work. E.g. it PG> doesn't show unread mail and it doesn't start Connection Center. I PG> need to click tray icon to make it work. This one is annoying indeed. Actually this is I think the same bug as I applied on December 1 (while using Beta 14). The bug is still there (in beta 18). Again my bug-description (to check if this is the same bug we're talking about): The bug description: Miscellaneous problems (properly related) with starting The Bat directly in minimised mode. Steps to reproduce the bug: With this new beta the following happens (my last beta was 10): - When I startup Windows I always start the Bat automatically (via programs/startup). I always start it minimised. My settings are set to only display systemtray icon (so not on the taskbar). - I have a shortcut to check all mail (ctrl+up-arrowkey). When i use this shortcut (after the Bat has loaded and sits in the systemtray) nothing happens. The Bat does not respond (shows no connection centre). - When i click on the Bat icon in the system tray, the Bat comes and starts to load the mailfolders (counting the mails in it like it always does). Before this beta the mailfolders where counted and loaded while minimised, so bringing up the Bat showed the bat ready for use. When clicking on the Bat systemtray icon, the Bat also does not come up maximised like it was before. Closing the Bat while maximised and reproducing above steps still shows the Bat still *not* maximised. - When using my check-all-mail shortcut now, after the Bat has come up and has made itself ready for use, the connections centre comes up, but the Bat mainwindow shows itself also in the taskbar (the Bat is minimised), so now I have two items in the taskbar related to the Bat (CC and the Bat mainwindow). When finishing the mailcheck, minimising The Bat shows it again in the systemtray (like it should be). While checking mail now for the second time everything looks ok. -- Cheers, Jeroen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by The Bat! v1.54 Beta/18 ( Windows NT 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2) -- _ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Beta: 1.54 beta/15 Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com

Are we talking about releasing a version 1.54? If this is true it's crazy. 1.54 is not yet ready for prime time! Are you talking about releasing this as 2.0? If that is true, TheBat! is about to self destruct. The 1.54 Beta has great promise. I see lots of good things starting to fall into place. BUT it still has too many incomplete additions and rough edges. Common folders are going to be good, but right now they are not there yet. The same is true of lots of things happening here. People who don't like betas until they are pretty solid would do well to move to 1.54 by now. People who resist all betas will be very unhappy with 1.54, because it will be clear that it is really just a beta not a perfected thing. Don't do it. Please. -- Dwight A.

The only time I see it, is if I have a (low priority) task in the background which takes up almost all CPU time, such as compressing a DivX, and the mail server is responding very slowly at the same time. It seems as if The Bat is then starved for CPU, and responds quite badly to events (but it doesn't hang up totally, however). I'm not sure how The Bat processes WinSock events, but if it is via the (old-fashioned) system of processing windows messages in the main WindowProc, then this could be the problem. However, switching to a fully asynchronous WinSock event model is not an easy task... Not to mention incompatible with older versions of Windows. Do other people with the "pause" problem have CPU-consuming tasks running in the background?
