Mac minimising issues

[ZeeCoder]

Once the app is minimised (by clicking "_"), it won't open up again, when clicking on the icon on the dock.

Hi @ZeeCoder . Thank you for letting me know. I believe thats an Electron bug at 1.2.3 version. I'll update Yout for the latest version and fix some issues from this update. I'll be back with news soon.

What's your OsX version?

[ZeeCoder]

10.12

[daltonmenezes]

@ZeeCoder , please, can you test this build and check if it fix this problem?

I'm afraid it's the same still 😔

[daltonmenezes]

Oh, man. :(
I'll make some minimal examples running on different versions of Electron, so we can test it and discover if it's an electron or Yout bug. Are you willing to try to help me with this? I don't have a Mac, unfortunately I just doing it on a virtual machine and it's not the same thing.

[ZeeCoder]

sure

[daltonmenezes]

@ZeeCoder , before the minimal examples, let's try a few things:

Move Yout.app to Applications folder. Open Yout and hit the right click on the Yout icon on the dock and set 'keep in dock'. Restart Yout and check if the minimize issue continues.

@ZeeCoder , This will not work ( about my previous comment). For now, I believe the solution is in here:

Event: ‘activate’ - macOS

Emitted when the application is activated, which usually happens 
when the user clicks on the application’s dock icon.

From Electron Documentation.

I'm working now for implement this in Yout. I'll be back soon bringing the new build for tests.

@ZeeCoder , please, test this build:

Hi @daltonmenezes, sorry for the late reply!
Unfortunately it still does the same thing. :(
I open it, minimise it and then I can't maximise it anymore. :/

[daltonmenezes]

@ZeeCoder , no problem. :)
Well, there's no way to fix it if I keep doing it on a virtual machine. I'll try to rescue an old PC here and try to install a OS X in it. haha, Pentium dual core 3.40GHz, 2GB, Geforce 512MB, we must pray about it haha.

[ZeeCoder]

Thanks for the effort btw, don't feel too pressured though I kinda think you did more than can be expected already 👍

[daltonmenezes]

Thanks @ZeeCoder . I have good news! About installing OS X in the old PC, it did not work. I've installed on my main PC and was great even being painful. haha

The good news is that I've identified the problem. A quick trick to solve this at the operating system level is:

1. Go to System Preferences / Dock.
2. Disable "Minimize windows into application icon".

Done!

Test it and let me know if it works for you. The next step is fix it at the code level for work with "Minimize windows into.." option enabled. Now with OS X working without a VM will be more easily. :)

[ZeeCoder]

Yeah that works, but I don't like that behaviour unfortunately :D

[daltonmenezes]

I get it. :D
But it'll be much easier now to get a fix for it. I hope to come back soon with the solution.

[daltonmenezes]

@ZeeCoder Good news. It's solved! :)
See and download it from here.

[ZeeCoder]

Awesome, it really works!
What was the issue?

[daltonmenezes]

It's an always on top bug from Electron. If you minimize with it enabled, the window restauration doesn't work anymore. I've discover that when I's created a minimal example and I's tested the possibilities. But that was good, because I enjoyed it and made other improvements from that. I've reported this bug for Electron team, but no answers about it yet.

Now you can enjoy Yout. Any problem or suggestions for improvement, it'll be great having your feedback. Have a good time, @ZeeCoder and thanks for helping me in this issue.
