MinimizeToTray revived (MinTrayR)

Awesome! works! Many thanks.

Very good job !
It would be great to be able to see the title of the song when the cursor is on the icon.

Finally this is working, thank you very much!

GOD! YOU DID IT !!!!
Very nice we were waiting for that since so long time! Then if I remember, the older Minimize to tray had a little icon near the "normal minimize", and you could choose if you put songbird on tray or on windows bar..
Sorry for my english..
luv'

Awesome work! Really good feature.
Although I'd like to right click and "love a track" when minimized, if that's possible :D

fantastic - been waiting for this. good work

Thanks!
Gracias, mucho mejor con esto.

Really nice. I was looking for a working minimize to tray add-on.

Great add-on. Do you think you could make it so it goes from the taskbar to the tray when it's set to miniplayer?

Agreed with 'internet' and 'Schwadegan'!

Really great in the meantime though, thanks!

Is there a way to get a pop-up on mouse hover to find out what song is playing?

Just upgraded to v1.0

One bug that I have is that when I right click in the task bar, then click away, the menu doesn't disappear and stays above all other windows. Though it works fine when I make a selection. I'm using Vista Business 32bit.

Great add-on though. I've been waiting for this, and if you could have it display in the tray while also miniplayer then you would provide support that iTunes doesn't even have.

Works great! Thanks!

I'm using XP SP3, and I too experienced the bug Spudster talked about.

Also, the Track Title on Mouse hover function would be awesome. Do you plan to implement it, along with the notification on track change?

Can you add a notification of when a new song is played? Works great on Vista otherwise

Many thanks for a great add-on!
In future versions could you consider a "minimize on close" option?
Also a notification for a song would be great.

I agree with all of the suggestions people have made so far. One thing that no one seemes to have reported, the options dialog title is weird.

And maybe I would suggest to name this add-on something simpler/friendlier. Like simply "MinimizeToTray Revived" or "MinTrayR". "MinimizeToTray revived (MinTrayR)" is too long and not very "friendly", if you know what I mean.

Thanks for updating this, it's much appreciated.

My suggestion would be to enable an option where Songbird is only in the tray and never on the taskbar (even when the program is open). That's the only feature I miss from Winamp.

Nice work.

I'd like to see songbird always in the tray like noname444 (if that's his real name...) suggests above. It's a pain to run Songbird in its minplayer view and still have it appear on the taskbar.

Also, a little bug: On a dual monitor system, if the player was on the monitor not showing the taskbar when it was minimised the taskbar menu appears on the other screen when right clicking the tray icon. (You can avoid this if you just minimise it on the screen with the taskbar on)

excellent, works really well. I agree with internet and noname444 though, it could use those features a lot!

why can't I click the button Install?

Probably because you're not logged in as Administrator or not a member of the Administrators group.

Awesome!
I've been waiting for this extension for a long time!

How can I help you to translate it into Spanish?

Nice work!

How can i install??

I use Ubuntu 8.10

I can't click the Install button....

Whenever Songbird changes tracks it seems to steal focus and open back up from the system tray and jump back onto the taskbar.

It's stealing focus from the application I'm working in and it's really really annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

i can't install, i use Ubuntu 8.10.
pls help me.

Awesome, thanks for this. The only better thing would be this for the Close button as well, but I'm just happy to get it off the taskbar...

I'm having the same problem as Dragyn, whenever the song changes focus shifts to Songbird and it gets opened back up.

Works!. Appreciate it. Would like to see the song being played when cursor points it, in the tray.

Wow! Many thanks! It's works!
And I think that would be great to chose tray icons...

This extension is great. The one change I would like is for it to work when using the mini player. I don't need it in the taskbar since the mini player sits at the top of my screen on top of everything else.

Thanks, this is just what I wanted. :D

Thanks a lot bro it's really useful your add,

I've the same suggestions like the other users, here the compilation of their posts:

Great add-on. The only suggestion I would make is to change the actual tray icon. Right now it looks more like a vomiting fish than a singing bird! Perhaps make some options for different icons.

A small nitpick I admit. Thanks for the great add-on, keep up the good work.

I like this add-on and I think it's a great testament to the potential power of the Songbird community. When people are allowed to rip into a program and start to forge their own experience, great things tend to happen. Along that line of thought, has the developer of this add-on ever used AmaroK, the amazing music player native to KDE? AmaroK minimizes to the tray beautifully and offers a right-click context/control menu that is highly intuitive.

This is probably a whole different discussion for an entirely new add-on, but another AmaroK feature that you can access from the tray context menu is "Stop After This Track" and it is one of the primary reasons I can't make the switch away from AmaroK (or Linux for that matter) entirely. The dynamic playlist control--including scheduling a stop after a specific track--is just too good. Any suggestions as to where I should post this comment in the hopes that someone will work up this feature?

User tip: Combine with Birdtitle add-on to customize the tooltip that the Songbird tray icon shows when Songbird is minimized.

This is great!

The only thing I'd like to see is proper multiple monitor support -- I have two side by side monitors, with my taskbar on the right edge of my right monitor. When I right click the tray icon, the context menu pops up on the right edge of my *left* monitor, a full screen away from the icon!

Anyways, I love it!

wonderful ....
find the add-on long time ....now u help me do what i want

Thanks!

Thanks, can you build it for ubuntu 8.10, i'm using ubuntu 8.10 amd 64bit, this add-on is very good.

Any idea if this will be (or can be) updated for Songbird 1.1 Beta 1? I really miss this extension.

Thanks,

Really Works!!!

awesome add-on....hope to see it in songbird 1.1 sometime :-)

hmm, doesn;t work for me. it minimizes for a split second then maximises again.

Works great on 1.1beta2 :D

Works like a f****n charm! Thanks =]

Ok just one thing, if you could make the menu (after right clicking) close by clicking anywhere outside of it, instead of the "close menu" option it woudl be even awesomer. It's a great plugin though, so no complains!

How does it work great on 1.1beta2?!

Please add support for 1.1!

There's a working 1.1 version available from the addon's page here.

Hey Une tnks for the link it work's...

Thanks, Une. Works perfectly.

Can't download. Why?

Thanks for that tip, Une.

Hey Nils,
I updated to the most current version from your website to get this add-on to work with Songbird 1.1 ... it works perfectly ;-)
How about updating this page too, so SB will detect a new version and start the auto update?!

To everyone having trouble getting this add-on to work with 1.1.1 Go here:

http://tn123.ath.cx/mintrayr/
Here you can download the latest verstion of MinTrayR or MinimizeToTray revived directly from the developer's website. I just installed it and it works like a charm.

it's works fine for Songbird 1.1.2, Build 1042 (20090331142126)
http://tn123.ath.cx/mintrayr/mintrayr_WINNT_x86-msvc.xpi

hey thanks zet! it works!

hey! tnx public_animal and zet! it works!

Looked great - but not for Linux!
Any chance this will be available ?

works fine!! , but is no longer actively developed...

Just wanted to say THANK YOU! It works on the latest Songbird. :) Thank you.

Works great! But, One little feature would be awesome.

"Close to tray"

Almost all tray supported programs have this. So, Obviously I close songbird by mistake, in the process of closing to the tray.

Finally works !!!! Thanks !!!!!
