Re: No FFS Notification Tray Icon. Is this correct?
The task bar management is completely controlled by the Windows OS, so I can't imagine what FFS could do wrong to cause issues in this area. In any case to troubleshoot something like this I'd need a repro, but in my tests on Win 10 it works correctly. So it can't be a general issue. EDITED Thanks ...

Re: No FFS Notification Tray Icon. Is this correct?
The notification area icon is shown when FreeFileSync is running minimized (for both gui and batch mode), but Windows 7 and later hide all new icons by default. Hi Zenju :) Thanks for your assistance, I am fully aware that Tray Icons are hidden by default in Win 10, but there is NO FFS entry visibl...

Re: No FFS Notification Tray Icon. Is this correct?
You probably need to do something like this: https://youtu.be/fkB47wwwIIA?t=80 Are you saying a FFS Notification icon ONLY appears if running a FFS batch script (ffs_batch) and never when running a manually triggered "ffs_gui" script. If this is the case then my memory is faulty as there ...

No FFS Notification Tray Icon. Is this correct?
Hi Zenju :) I'm using FFS 9.3 and just noticed there is no FFS icon in my Win 10 (v1703) x64 Notification Tray when running FFS. To be honest I do not know if this was the case in recent versions or not as i usually do not take too much notice. I checked the Notification Tray list of apps and saw th...

Query regarding checks made by FFS at each launch
Hi Zenju, Scenario: I found that Windows 10 default size for a clean install for the System Reserved Partition is 500MB (I had set it to 350MB when an upgrade complained it was too too small and at the time people online were suggesting 350MB). Yesterday using a 3rd party partition application I dec...

Understood and thanks for your speedy reply Zenju :)The tooltip handling is coming from either Windows or wxWidgets, so it would be difficult to change. If it were within FreeFileSync's code, I'd fix it of course.Zenju
