[v] "activate in tray" is not working

I am getting random entries greyed-out when I right-click the icon in my tray. When I have the program open and I right-click on the different tabs, the setting "Activate in Tray" is random, if I set it, it may disappear, ones that I do not set may become set on the next time I look at them; none of these settings affect whether the tab is actually active from the tray icon. WinXP-pro, SP2.
I think I am doing everything correctly. I would like this feature to work. Thank you.

First of all please make sure you're using the latest version. In one of the earlier versions the settings in tray were shown incorrectly if the program was startet minimized.

Secondly, pay attention to select the tab before right-clicking it.
The popup belonging to athe active tab is shown.

I thought I was doing what you were saying, first clicking on a tab to make it active, then right-clicking to set "Active in Tray". So I tried again, and now all is working correctly. I must have been doing it wrong. Sorry for the trouble.

PS: Many windows programs allow right-click without first clicking on the object (right-click selects the item automatically then gives the context menu), maybe a future enhancement (or at least an option to have that behavior)?

thank you

Re: [v] "activate in tray" is not working

After the setting, I activate the "active in tray" of each profile and the "?" beside the text "Active in Tray" disappears.  However, all profiles remain not clickable in the Tray Bar.

Is there any setting or procedures i did wrong.

Thank you for your helping hand.

Re: [v] "activate in tray" is not working

What appears as a "?" on your PC should look like this sign:

I didn't know that it is not available on all systems. But since I changed that for version 2.2 (which will come this week) where it is represented by a check mark it should not be confusing anymore.

Just to make sure: The sign has to be visible for that profile to be activated in the tray.

And one last word concerning this topic: In 2.2 a right-click on a tab will select it automatically.
