SaphuA Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Minime v1.8 - released 2009-01-05Minime is a tool that allows you to minimize applications to the system tray using a simple hotkey. What makes this tool somewhat unique is that it keeps your system tray clean by minimizing all applications into a single tray icon.Minime is a standalone executable that doesn't require any installation and can even be run from your USB drive, woohoo! All icon files are stored as resources and will be neatly put into your temporary directory.The source code for Minime is released as well to allow anyone to learn from or improve the application. The source code can be used without limitations as long as some credit is given and the adjusted code will be released to public.For more information and downloads please check the Minime page on my blog.expandcollapse popupHistory: v1.8 - Some GUI changes to the options form - Added an option to start Minime with Windows - Added a Show All hotkey - Added some restore methods in case of rare bug - Windows are automaticly restored on close (does not include closing with task manager) - When opening a second Minime instance an option will be given to close the previous one, restroing all its windows v1.7 - Moved the 'Check for Updates' context item to the Options form - Made customizing the settings a lot easier and safer - Commented the code a little better - Minime now ignores the following windows or applications: - Winamp v1.6 - Fix: Updates item when title of window changes (useful when a window shows progress in its title) - Added an Options form - Added support for mouse gestures - Changed url to Minime in about box (again) - Minime now ignores the following windows or applications: - ConvertxToDVD v1.5 - Fix: Minime context menu can no longer be minimized - Fix: Windows cannot be minimized twice - Increased the interval for closed window checks - Added a really simple 'check for updates' option - Icon files are now added as resources in the exe file v1.4 - Some minor changes - Fixed url to Minime in about box - Removed the queue feature as it turned out to be pretty useless v1.3 - Changed hotkey to ctrl+shift+z - Added simple queue feature for advanced AutoIt users (which will be improved later) v1.2a - Fix: Fixed a bug that would cause an item to be removed twice v1.2 - Fix: Spelling mistake of ico file in the wrappers - Fix: Added an extra check to make sure the ShowAll tray was removed only once - Minime now ignores the following windows or applications: - Desktop - Start menu - Taskbar - Desktop UserPicture v1.1 - Much neater code (arrays instead of x-variables) - Moved icons to ico folder - Fix: Fixed a bug with the About window - Fix: Build in a check that removes items from the list when a window is restored by itself v1.0 - Initial releaseThanks to!Phodexis, for his feedback and trying to improve Minime.Holger, for creating ModernMenuRaw.au3ProgAndy, for improving ModernMenuRaw.au3Many people on the AutoIt forum Edited January 5, 2009 by SaphuA http://www.saphua.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 ...everyone's waiting for the array version ;-) No, so far I like it, but on my Win2K machine the icons don't work at all. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

SaphuA Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks for your replies. You can easily alter it to allow more applications. I didn't realy see the need for more and I was too lazy to add them. It should would work perfectly well with IE and explorer, what windows are you running? http://www.saphua.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaphuA Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Phodexis and Mojo, you guys should start using Windows Vista No, actualy, it's quite odd. Although I don't have Windows 2k or XP and neither have enough experience with AutoIt to fix thse bugs. Could some fanatic AutoIt pro fix the bugs for older Windows versions? Are there any feature requests you people have? I thought it would be nice to have a certain feature that would make Minime keep some sort of favorites list. It would keep track of any new window that get's opened and minimze it once it's found on the list. This will work quite well with applications that auto-run but don't go into the system tray.

NeoFoX Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 SaphuA... A great, perfect program... Definitly gonna use it for, like you said, Windows Media Player etc... Perhaps a future for you: when a program is in the list, you can't get it back with ALT+TAB, perhaps something to switch it back like it would be nice Greetz, Neo [center][font="Arial"]--- The Neo and Only --- [/font][font="Arial"]--Projects---[/font]Image to Text converterText to ASCII converter[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaphuA Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Awesome idea.I might even be able to combine it with this neat sample (Windows Vista thumbnails):http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77831It will mean that this will be a Vista only application though, but since it doesn't work well with older Windows version anyway I don't think that will realy matter. Perhaps I will make a stripped down version aswell some day. http://www.saphua.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoFoX Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Countered a little problem here...Try to minime winamp... isn't working here see this picture:Greetz,Neo [center][font="Arial"]--- The Neo and Only --- [/font][font="Arial"]--Projects---[/font]Image to Text converterText to ASCII converter[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaphuA Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Countered a little problem here...Try to minime winamp... isn't working here see this picture:Greetz,NeoGeeh that's odd. I don't use/have winamp though, so will be hard to check what's wrong. Apperantly it's not possible to hide its windows. I will see what I can do to fix it. The least I can do is add a check that will not add items to the context menu of windows that are not hidden at all.

SaphuA Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Thanks for trying to improve the script Phodexis, any input is always welcome. I like the wrapper stuff, didn't know that was possible. Got any more of those samples?

Phodexis Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 winxp don't restore, maybe vista restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaphuA Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Unless someone comes with a sollution I think this will be a Vista only application I wanted to inform everyone that I have changed the source to work with arrays (I've finally figured out how to use arrays properly within AutoIt) and managed to reduce the source code with almost 150 lines. I will update everything as soon as I have added some new features. http://www.saphua.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiesp Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) This might seem like an odd idea.. but maybe make the program make a list of windows it hides, so that if the program should chrash u could get all ur windows back with just using the following code Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) WinSetState("<insert window title here>","",@SW_SHOW) Edit: and btw nice script Edited August 16, 2008 by Kiesp http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69911 <-- Best hacker ever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
