Tip of Day not displaying

If set to display on startup AND the Tools/Config/gen/Minimize to tray on X close is set then no display of TOTD though it is in the task bar but can't be opened.

Not sure what sequence you used, but I just set "Tip on Startup" plus "Min on X close" (not my normal values), exited via Alt+F4, and restarted XY...the TOTD showed immediately but did not show on taskbar, which it normally does when invoked when XY is running...

The problem I described is 100% repeatable BUT I tried using Alt+F4 (per your exit) and it works correctly. Using Exit from the Tray, it doesn't. Wierd!

I can replicate that as well.


The question here is should it display the Tip at all in this case since XY is being opened in the tray?


I think what we may need is a new option which defines the start up state when XY was in the tray and closed.

Maybe: "Allow XY to open in tray?"

And then make a note that if that option is checked the tips won't be opened unless XY was visible when last closed.
