xchat doesn't remember "minimize to tray" setting

Thanks for reporting this issue.
I cannot reproduce this with xchat 2.8.4-0ubuntu4., what version of xchat do you use?

I cannot reproduce myself. Don't know what happened...

I am having this problem with xchat 2.8.4-0ubunt6. I can reproduce the problem every time I use xchat

just to correct my typo ... that was xchat 2.8.4-0ubuntu6

Do we know if this is still an issue?

I just noticed that this bug is quite dated and that there has been no activity for quite some time. In an effort to clean up our bug database I am closing this issue. If it still exists please create a new one or re-open this bug by marking it as "new" again.

Thanks,

Richard Seguin

Still exists Ubuntu 9.04, xchat Version: 2.8.6-2.1ubuntu4

I'm experiencing the same problem. If I enter...

 /set gui_tray_flags 1

.. within xchat, closing the xchat windows will make the app minimise to the tray; however this isn't remembered.

I'm using XChat 2.8.6 from the Jaunty repos.

I think I've found a permanent fix;

open ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf for editing
replace 'gui_tray_flags = 0' with 'gui_tray_flags = 1'

This bug still exists on ubuntu 10.04 rc, by the look of it xchat it hasn't been updated and the project seems to be ctd or nearly dead.

XChat will remember this setting, assuming that a clean shutdown is done. The issue is that the preferences aren't saved to disk right at that time, but either waits for the shutdown, or some other event which causes the save to occur. Even if it appears to be a clean shutdown to you (the steps went through), if something gets aborted along the way, it is possible for the save not to happen.

Hope that is clear enough, and also why you won't see this bug every time. Clean shutdowns mean this issue doesn't appear.

Indeed, that does appear to be a fix for the issue.

Yes, this and manually editing the config works of course.
But expected behaviour after selecting minimize to tray and selecting "Don't ask next time" in the dialog then Ok should write that to the config immediately.

It still occur on the last version?

i open xchat. i login with my username "bil21al" as u see in the vedio. than i right click on launcher icon of the xchat than select quite than 3 options came and i select minimize to tray than the window minimized and there is no indication on the launcher icon that it is mimimized or not.than i click again on xchat icon and again new irc login procedure came and i login by another username as you see in the vedio "bil21al_" so
xchat doesnt remeber.
