Girder and WinAMP 3 under Win2k

[Tseng]

I have a little problem with WinAMP3 and Girder. The Shortcuts work fine, when WinAMP 3 is shown. But if i minimzie WinAMP 3. The reasos is, that Girder dont find the WinAMP 3 Window. It should only Search after "Studio.exe" (WinAMP 3 Exe). But it says "Window not found", but if i look in the TaskManager i see the "Studio.exe" (it's the WinAMP 3 Agent in the Task)

How can i send Commands to WinAMP 3 when it's minimized?

and is here a way to minimize/restore WinAMP3 via Girder? the Girder "Minimzie" Function wont work. It minimizes only the Window, but you cant restore it with the WinAMP Agent. Same for MediaPlayer. If you minimize it with the Minimize Function, you cant restrore it manually because here is nothing from MediaPlayer in the Task (but a the mplayer2.exe is visible in TaskManager)

Have you checked the Match Hidden windows in the target window ?

Thanks. I found the "error". It was a translation error in the german translation ^^

In the English the checkbox is named "Match inivisible Tasks". In German it's named "Im Hintergrund ausführen" and means "Run (or Execute) in background" so i don't know what it do ^^

Maybe you can correct it in the next version in "In versteckten Tasks suchen" :)

bye Tseng

P.S. is here a another way to minimize a Programm without the "Minimize" Function in the Window-Tab? It's not the same as if you klick on the Minimize Button on a Window, because it dont appear in the TaskBar. Is here some kind of Window Shortcut for minimize a window?

And a "Windowkey" Checkbox would be nice in the Keyboard-Tab for Shortcuts that needs the Windows Key (Windows+D for Desktop, or Windows+M for minimize all Windows)

P.P.S. maybe an another little Bug: Girder seems to have problems sending Alt+another key to some Applications. I tried to send an Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 or Alt+Enter to MediaPlayer 6.4. But it dont work. Alternate Proc. also dont work (if i send it to a the mplayer2.exe process). It seems only to work, if i send it to the active Window :/
Is here some kind of workaround? Or would it be fixed in next versions?
I use Win2k with SP3.

I'll modify the entry.

1. I was not aware of this problem. When I implemented it way back it worked. Guess the new version of windows broke something again.
