PlexAmp system tray icon - default settings 'Only Show Notifications'?

I noticed that the default setting for the PlexAmp system tray icon is set to “Only Show Notifications”. Thus, after launching the software, the icon quickly vanishes, making it perplexing to change libraries / servers unless you manage to think of looking for PlexAmp in your ‘Customize’ system tray settings.

If you’re meant to use the system tray notification to control these aspects, don’t you think you would set this to ‘Show Icon and Notifications’? As you can’t control any of the libraries via clicking on the Taskbar icon, let alone within the software, I find this to be pretty nonsensical. (I could be missing where you can change it in the application. But since none of it is blatantly evident, I don’t figure you can.)

I noted these observations on W7 x64.

Hmm, I wasn’t actually aware there was a way to set that (sorry, I’m a bit Windows-stupid), and it might not be possible to change that setting in Electron. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can weigh in :sweat_smile:

I’m not a programmer, so I can’t say for sure either. However, seeing that other unrelated software manages to set ‘Show Icon and Notification’ in the system tray, I figure that it has to be possible. Just wanted you to be aware that the ease of use on Windows is quite frustrating unless you do additional steps to make it useful.

Thanks for taking a look. :slight_smile:
