Minimize to Tray Rule doesn't work on VirtualBox

Postby MadClown » 15.09.2013 06:16:31

After I updated to Dexpot 1.6.10, VirtualBox no longer minimizes to the tray. It's using the same rule that Dexpot 1.6.9 was using, which is Executable is VirtualBox.exe as the condition. From what I've tested, other programs work fine with minimize to tray.

:dex:

Works fine here with VirtualBox 4.2.18 on Windows 8. Does it work if you apply the rules manually (Desktop Rules > Apply rules)?

I'm using VirtualBox 4.2.18 also but I'm on Windows 7. Applying rules automatically doesn't work either, but I did revert back to 1.6.9 and it's working fine now. Other things like transparency seem to work fine with VirtualBox even when I was using 1.6.10.

Does that mean a rule with the same condition but different actions still works for VirtualBox with 1.6.10?

I deleted my Dexpot settings and it's working correctly now. Something must of went wrong with my settings, i'm not really sure what exactly though.

Maybe it wasn't the settings actually, because when I move the Dexpot folder somewhere else such as my desktop, it minimizes VirtualBox to the tray just fine. When the Dexpot folder is in either Program Files folder then it no longer minimizes VirtualBox to the tray. It's pretty weird what's going on, but I know for sure that this doesn't occur with 1.6.9, even when it is in the Program Files folder.

I also tested this on my Windows 8 computer and it does the same thing, just the minimize to tray is messed up.

Can you confirm that the problem is fixed with the new update to build 2369?
