Prevent SageTV from Minimizing when External Prgram is launched?

[ikarus79m]

Hi,

does anyone know how I can prevent my SageTV window from minimizing when I am launching an external program from the SageTV interface?

I am using a program to copy my DVD's to my hard drive, but everytime I do so, the SageTV window minimizes, leaving me to go to my computer and manually maximizing it.

This only happens in Full Screen Exclusive mode. If I have FSE set to off, my SageTV windows doesn't minimize, but the external program simply pops up on top of it. Also annoying.

I don't need to interfere with the external program at all while it is working away, so I'd really appreciate if there would be a way to keep it hidden away and not interfering with my SageTV window.

Thanks. :-)

This is how FSE is supposed to work, when focus is transferred to another window, Sage has to cancel FSE.

The latest version of my dynamic menu system has two ways of handling this when running external commands from the menus:

Run external program minimised (may not work with some programs that do not obey the start /min command)

Disable FSE before execute, enable FSE after execute (which puts Sage into a window before running and restores FSE after the program has exited).
