It’s unfortunately not. I looked at this 2 times but didn’t found out why windows is actively restoring the windows. It’s maybe a feature. I don’t know.
Taskbar icons are missing on purpose here too. The windows are sticky on the main window, so clicking on the task bar buttons wouldn’t do something useful.
Hah! Literally didn’t know this was a bug. Tonight I had to remove Satin from old songs to get them to load; I only discovered by checking the log. cheers @taktik
Ok, it’s still quite a strange design without the proper Taskbar Icons to be able to switch to and restore the extra windows. If i compare it to other applications for example, say Steam spread out over two monitors, i will get one icon for the main window on the main screen and two icons on the second screen for the friendslist and chat windows. A graphics application like Paintshop Pro will have extra taskbar icons for the tabs within the application and if i drag out a tab from a Webbrowser like Firefox, i’ll get pretty much another instance of the browser. When using something like a tool palette window style, it’s usually not having a way to maximize or minimize, closing would also reattach it. The Taskbar icons usually do the preview for the Taskswitcher and handle any restoring functionality. Maybe instead of letting the window totally vanish, intercept the WM_MINIMIZE and WM_CLOSE and at least reattach the window back to the main window? The maximized state not being stored can be somewhat worked around by manually resizing the window on the second screen to it’s full view and not use the maximize button. If it’s too much hassle for now i can live with it, doesn’t make Renoise unusable.
