Autopush Version Button - popup always fails to reach the front of my desktop, making AltBinz untouchable until I've moved several other windows out of the way.
-
Same for me, so I've disabled it for now.

So, to be clear. As soon as you hit version button, popup is displayed but window is in background? What OS?

Version button was on Autopush, OS is Vista 64-bit. The "new version" indicator popped up behind the altbinz main window making it unclickable. I could make the popup window come to foreground by opening/switching to a different window and then switching back to altbinz, or by minimizing all windows then restoring.

This should be fixed in 0.33.1
So, please enable it and when 0.33.2 is out report results...
-
Thanks rdl. Just out of interest, what's the difference between the "Autopush Version button" option and the "Check for new Alt.Binz version every x hours"? Do they both trigger the popup?
-
they basicly do the same thing, but autopush is a one time thing at AB start while every x hours checks every x hours as long as AB is open.
-
Oh so if I set it to check once a week then the program would have to be open a whole week for it to work? Ooops... ;)
-
yeah but who in his right mind would set it to check every 168 hours?
-
I could happily live with a weekly check for updates.
-
Thanks, new version downloaded and in use - can't report on the fix until another new version comes out though :)
-
Same here, "Autopush Version button" is re-enabled, will report back on the next version.

Happened again when 0.33.2 was available.

In what state was altbinz?
Onscreen, maximized, minimized, in tray?

When I load altbinz from the start menu, it loads up maximised. New version popup comes up in foreground before quickly disappearing to background.
-
Same for me, except from starting from taskbar. :)
Same behaviour of popup.
Windows size is same as before (dont have it maximized).
-
Another try then. I think I got it now.
-
why bother to show the new version window at all? (to drop a bombshell ;D) People who activate Autopush version button can see in that very button that there actually IS a new version. But, however, I'm fine every which way you go with this. I like the program, and I like the way it's being constantly improved, but an update every month should be fine too. The pop-up may be annoying to some people, but isn't really that important. Anyway, keep up the good work, allthough the feel temperature is now a good 15 degrees Celsius below zero.
-
That's a good point actually.
-
It was added because people asked for it. :P
-
And to please both sides, I've added "Do not show again" checkbox :P
-
hahaha, good one, Rdl :D
-
My mistake, ignore. I'm a version behind.
-
Nope, sorry.
Same again now 0.33.3 is online.

Well to test you'll have to wait for 0.33.4 :)
-
Wrong thinking. Bug in .1 when .2 was released and of course you can fix that in two versions "later". (if we report the same in .3 you can fix that in .5)
Kind of a riddle.
-
I noticed that A.B. was doing the same to me, but switching to a different program and then back to A.B. (Alt-Tab) always brings the notification window to the front (Windows 7, 64-bit, if it makes a difference).
-
New version pops to front okay! Unfortunately, when the popup is closed no other windows can be selected - altbinz remains at front until closed completely. Sorry! (XP)
-
Same for me in Win7/64. Probably related to https://www.altbinz.net/forum/index.php?topic=4489.0
Guess that one is also fixed in 0.33.4 with this one.
I would say, close this one...and wait for 0.33.5 to come out to close the on-top bug topic.
