The function "Show The KMPlayer in system tray" isn't working as it was a while ago (don't know from which BETA version forward).

Sometimes when switching from one file to the other, or when a "Can't open or find the file" error or something like that gets shown, the option gets ignored and the program is visible in the Taskbar - I think it's a bug, and it doesn't always appear, so I can't really help you replicate. I do know that the bug is not Vista specific, as I've also caused it on my Windows XP SP2 machine.

If this is perhaps due to the request shown here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), could you add an extra option, like in Winamp, so another checkbox, if the user wants the program to be shown in the Taskbar?

So what I mean is 2 check boxes instead of one:
- Show The KMPlayer in system tray
AND
- Show The KMPlayer in Taskbar

If you find an exact step to reproduce the problem, let me know that.

ps. I've enabled that option to find the problem but no clue yet.

Try playing a 3GP file with the latest beta.

When I do as I've mentioned in this ([Only registered and activated users can see links])thread, the program gets shown in the Taskbar (but the program also freezes) - when I have an easier method of reproducing the problem I'll post it here (too random at the moment).

I've found a way to replicate the problem of The KMPlayer being shown in the Taskbar even if the option "Show The KMPlayer in system tray" is enabled.
I tested the theory on my Vista and an Windows XP SP2 machine.

Start the program normally (e.g. with the program shortcut), after that, select the main window, and hide/show the playlist editor (either via the keyboard shortcut or the mouse). The program gets shown in the Taskbar and doesn't disappear until you go and switch the option off and on again in the options screen.

This seems to be a Delphi 2007 version specific BUG.
(I am using the latest Delphi 2007 build (1394))
