TB! focus not recognised by Windows taskbar
Hello, If I try to move focus to TheBat from another application by any means other than clicking on the taskbar icon, TheBat becomes the active application (taking keyboard input etc) but this is not reflected in the taskbar icon status. The previous application's icon remains inverted. For example, if I am browsing with Firefox, alt-tab to TheBat then click back on Firefox, Windows will minimise Firefox. This is the correct windows behaviour if you click on the icon for the currently selected application. Except that in this case it's not actually the focussed application! All other application combinations appear to work correctly. This has been happening for at least the last couple of TheBat releases. I can't see any other mention of this on the web, can anyone confirm that they can/can't see this behaviour before I a) bug it or b) sigh as my PC gets elevated to a higher cruft level.

This does happen, but ONLY after using alt-tab to go to TB. However, that cycle seems to end if, once FF is chosen again, then FF maximizes as it should. It is a rather odd behavior that I have noticed, as you have, but it's not been a big nuisance. All other application combinations appear to work correctly.

I am working a lot with the Keyboard and less with the mouse. I recognized already, that if i click back with the mouse from the Bat, sometimes windows went minimized. I will try to reproduce it and i will give another feedback then. -- With kind Regards Jens Franik mailto:je...@gmx.de Picture of me?

Disabling spam filter
Hi - Since I upgraded the last time, this spam device has driven me bonkers. I have just scanned over 800 messages here, and haven't found a fix, and can only hope I haven't missed it. Thanks be that Batters are so good about subject lines! If the thing can't be disabled altogether, is it at least possible to tell it to block or permit domain names? This business of allowing/blocking each individual gif or jpg is totally insane! They change with every mailing on much of this stuff, and filtering on those defeats the purpose entirely! TIA, and sorry for the desperation, but it takes me longer to mess with that than to delete the spam!

1/27/2009 RO You're talking about the Download URL manager, that isn't a spam RO filter, but gives you the possibility to configure from what sites you RO want to see the pictures and from what sites not. RO Don't select the individual messages, but their root when choosing to RO allow or block. Many have several roots, as many as 5 on the worst. And it is evident that they change the content from mailing to mailing, so that one determination is not enough. EBay notices frequently have several; since various items/vendors are involved, how could they be the same? Should I have to allow every vendor notification they send out??? I've been fighting the thing ever since I installed that version. I can't believe I'm the only user with this issue! RO AFAIK You can't disable the feature. No offense, but I really, really, hope you are wrong. But .. thanks anyway.

If you are referring to the URL manager then you can disable it entirely or call it up as needed. To open it click on the earth icon on the header bar and select Show URL Manager. There you can de-select the show this window automatically check box. This will cause TB to ignore HTML pictures and act like TB used to. You can also open this same window when you receive an email you want to see the pictures in and allow them for that email. This usually lets all pictures from that emailer through from that point on. I hope this is what you meant, if not please ignore me altogether. ;) -- Stuartmailto:scu...@mts.net Using The Bat! v4.1.9.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.1.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If I can find it again now that I've got it turned off, I'll explore it further, but maybe I'll just leave it turned off :-) SC I hope this is what you meant, if not please ignore me altogether. ;) No, no, thanks very much! I was feeling really stupid, which of course adds to the aggravation! I'm much more mellow now that the thing is turned off! lol! And as a nice little bonus, while I was scanning those hundreds of messages trying to find a reference to the thing, I discovered I could pipe my gmail messages to TB. I went and did it - easiest config I've ever done, barring TB's basic configs - and that's working too. This is unquestionably the best support group on the net! Thanks to all who've replied!

Hello, friends. Nick Dutton (ND) 27.01.2009 (22:39): ND If I try to move focus to TheBat from another application ND by any means other than clicking on the taskbar icon, ND TheBat becomes the active application ND (taking keyboard input etc) ND but this is not reflected in the taskbar icon status. Confirmed. Steps To Reproduce: 1. Open the main The Bat! window. 2. Open any separate window (for instance, Sorting Office, Address Book, etc.) 3. Close the separate window. 4. Result: the main The Bat! window is active but its taskbar icon is inverted (its style is 3D-outset rather than 3D-inset). -- Alexander Gutman Using The Bat! v4.1.11 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Current version is 4.1.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
