Yes, it does exactly the same, i.e. restores the app in another vdesk
without switching to the original vdesk. I've also tested it with
empty.pcf. You need only 2 buttons with 2 "Switch-To Vdesk##" and a
hotkey/button to call the script. If I create a static bar via PProConf
instead of a dynamic one, and add the button with "win.show(somehandle)"
it doesn't work either.
win.show(somehandle) from TinyCommandLine works for me as it should. If
I launch @RestBar from TinyCommandLine or trigger it otherwise, it works
as well.
Examine this script:
; shows (and restores) all minimized windows, no matter in which vdesk
@MinTest
Local _handlelist = win.handlelist("*",2)
Local _resbar = "_dynrestorebar"
Local _handle, clitem, i
cl.create(_resbar, 1)
cl.newProperties(_resbar, "AllVDesks TextCenter TopMost ;;+
Border Barsize Height: 30 Position: FixedTopCenter")
cl.addProperties(_resbar, "BackBMP = none")
For(i=0; ; i++)
_handle = word(_handlelist, i)
If(not _handle)
Break
If(not win.minned(_handle))
Continue
clitem = cl.insert(_resbar, cl.length(_resbar))
clitem.addleft("win.show("++_handle++")")
clitem.setlabel(win.caption(_handle)++" ("++_handle ++")")
EndFor
bar.show(_resbar)
Quit
Now try the following two variants:
Variant 1:
- Launch a notepad and minimize it
- Run the script
- Switch vdesk
- Restore notepad by barbutton (seldomly works the first time)
- Repeat steps 1-4 using the same notepad
=>> Original desktop is NOT restored.
Variant 2:
- Minimize notepad
- Switch vdesk
- Run the script
- Restore notepad
=>> Original desktop is restored.
Can you verify this?

AFAIK, FF is written in a mix of C and C++; it's a multiplattform app in
fact.
Well, someone could argue that browser tabs could count as multiple
windows, yes, but I doubt it because it also happens with Thunderbird
(the mail client), and TB has no tabs or such stuff whatsoever.
Winspector shows an additional WS_MINIMIZE when I minimize FF/TB.
I have a simple workaround, but the thing puzzled me a bit until I've
isolated it:
If(_event == 1)Do
If(win.minned(_handle))
Quit
;; do something
EndIf
What do you think?
