GUI locked on Apply Chain

Post by Blackthorn » Wed Apr 10, 2013 4:35 pm

So, I find it rather annoying that I cannot move the window or minimize it while a several hour chain is running. Just saying that would be nice. Love everything else ya'll are doin'.

I will add your vote that you can minimise the "Apply Chain" window.

Meantime, I suggest that anyone affected task switches to their other programs and resizes the windows of those programs so that they cover Audacity.

I presume that you are on Windows?
If by any chance you are on Linux or Mac, you could just switch to a different work space ("Spaces" on Mac).
Apparently there are third party add-ons for Windows that provide this functionality, such as VirtuaWin.

I agree there needs to be a minimize button! I have active desktop that I like to be able to view while watching my shows on my secondary HDTV display. The last thing I like to be seeing out of the corner of my eye is the 3 irritating windows for chain running it really distracts me from my show instead of the nice scenic active desktop that I usually run to help prevent distractions.
