Copy/move files dialog box always on top

Is it possible to disable this and make it behave like a normal window, for example, make it "dissapear" from view when we alt+tab away from it like all other windows ? It's very annoying when after any copy/move operation with this dialog box always having to manually click with the mouse on the minimize button because i am a heavy keyboard user, and even when after minimizing this dialog box and alt+tabing between directory opus and other programs, that dialog box appears almost always before directory opus itself in the alt+tab list :slight_smile: Maybe it's because it's set with "always on top" i don't know but this is really annoying...

By the way i forgot to tell it's only "on top" inside Directory opus, much like all dialog boxes are when we are editing toolbars mode.

I don't think it's possible at the moment, sorry.

It's something that I looked into briefly a while ago, but I think it turned out to be quite complicated and there wasn't enough time to look into it fully. It's something I'd like to look at again when I get a chance, though...

Hum... that's ok, i have got a temporarly solution which is to use a external macro program in which when i press ESC when this dialog window is on focus it gets minimized by the external program using a macro, i guess this is the only solution for those which don't want to use the mouse for this, so this isn't a major issue for now.

FWIW, on Windows 7 you can also push Win+Down to minimize windows. (Esc is usually a lot quicker/easier, of course; just mentioning it for anyone who doesn't want to install a macro tool.)

Jeez... i didn't even know that i guess i am not much familiar with the new shortcut keys on windows 7 :slight_smile: No no that one is fine now ESC can be again used to cancel the operation (which is already a function of dopus) so it's fine like this.

I have a problem using Copy/Move buttons in the default "Operations" toolbar:
When I select file(s) in the lister, then click the Copy or Move button, I get the expected "select destination folder" dialog box.
However, if I move the mouse around, the DIALOG WILL DISAPPEAR (it loses 'foreground focus'). It is still active, as evidenced by using Alt-Tab Alt-Tab to toggle away-and-back to DOpus10; then the dialog is visible once again.
But, moving the mouse anywhere over the dialog can make it disappear AGAIN. Moving the mouse in areas NOT over the dialog doesn't seem to cause this bug. This happens both on desktop:Win-vista + DOpus10.0.2.0-4269.x86, and on laptop:Win-7-home-premium-64 (running the 64bit DOpus10). So it seems this bug/behavior originates deep within DOpus.
How can I fix this annoying behavior? (this is not standard child-windows/dialog box behavior). Is this related to the custom behavior discussed above? how so?
Thanks for any suggestions!

This thread seems to be clipped out of a parent thread>> what behavior is "this"??
[seems he got the dialog to "stay on top" (visible). What controls this?]

Are you running any sort of "window management" software or any other third-party utilities that modify the normal operation of windows?

No, don't believe so; ACDSee changes the file associations, but this shouldn't affect DOpus control of windows.
