Clicking on shortcut opens XYplorer again when minimised to tray

A small issue I would like to have addressed is the behaviour of the shortcut when pinned to the taskbar.
I have Xyplorer minimse to the tray when not in use and autostart with Windows since I use it a lot. The only annoying thing with this is i have to click the minimised tray icon to reopen it and bring it back to the desktop. I automatically go for the pinned taskbar shortcut but after clicking 3-4 times I then realise my mistake and have to retrieve the program from the minimised tray.
It is possible to fix this so clicking the pinned shortcut will bring the program back to the desktop from the tray?

I'm guessing that you have Tools > Configuration > Startup & Exit > Allow multiple instances, enabled? Is disabling this an option?

I do not have that enabled. I work with only one instance.
For now I have disabled the tray minimisation and allow the program to shut down and start up which is preferable but not optimal.

I have set Minimize to tray and no problem with it.
It starts from a pinned shortcut in the taskbar regardless of minimized or not.
I did this only for testing as it has no benefit to set minimize to tray if using a pinned entry in the taskbar.

Check out
HotKeyShowApp. Here the change log entries (reverse chronology):
Code: Select all
v10.70.0204 - 2012-01-10 14:40
+ Enhanced tweak HotKeyShowApp. Now it will minimize XY when it's
not minimized and in the foreground. So you now have a nice toggle
to show/hide the app.
v7.90.0121 - 2009-02-13 10:56
+ Enhanced tweak HotKeyShowApp. Now you can state the modifier keys
using the following values:
ALT = 1
CTRL = 2
SHIFT = 4
WIN = 8
Simply add the values you need and prefix them to the key
separated by a "+". E.g. like this for Win+Alt+Y:
[Settings]
HotKeyShowApp=9+Y
If no modifier is stated, the modifer defaults to 8 (Win Key).
v7.90.0117 - 2009-02-11 12:49
+ Added tweak to define a hotkey to show (restore, foreground) the
application when it's in the background, minimized to taskbar, or
minimized to tray.
[Settings]
HotKeyShowApp=X
Set to one character (A-Z, 0-9). The character/key will be used
together with "Win"-key, so the above example would create the
hotkey Win+X to show XY.
Note that such a hotkey does not change your system or registry.
It is active only as long as XYplorer is loaded.
If more than one XYplorer instance using the same hotkey is loaded
then only the first loaded one receives the hotkey. Even if it is
unloaded later, no other still loaded instance will respond to the
hotkey.
