File operation dialog does not display

Help & Support
1

It seems that the file operation dialog was no longer displayed during the beta version, I only noticed it now because I wanted to cancel the copy. I looked at the settings and it doesn't seem to be relevant.
If I exit Opus, the file operation dialog will be visible.
Opus 13.1

Are you using Active Window Manager or anything like that which moves/resizes/on-tops other program's dialogs?

If so, try uninstalling it. Many of those tools cause problems with our progress dialogs for some reason.

I only have Listary and some AutoHotkey scripts that just inspect the windows and won't operate on Opus.
If I uncheck the script that uses WatchTab, the file operation dialog comes back. The problem seems to come from Opus.

Ah, very strange. Thanks for those details!

It's possible the hidden WatchTab window is being chosen as the dialog parent, maybe. We'll investigate.

@Leo, Can I ask you a question in private?

@WKen does it make any difference if you change this line:
var dlg = scriptCmdData.func.Dlg();
for this one?
var dlg = DOpus.Dlg();

I see a similar behaviour with some dialogs who has a lister or a tab as a parent.

I tested a long time ago that the var dlg = DOpus.Dlg();, script dialog was visible in the taskbar's thumbnails.
I tested according to your tip and the file operation dialog was displayed normally, but the taskbar still displayed the thumbnail of the script dialog.

The problem seems to have occurred again.
