#1279 KeePass remains minimized after start.
When opening KeePass 1.25 the behaviour has changed, since about two weeks, and I don't know what I did...
When opening a file.kdb, the password dialog shows. After entering the PW and OK, the KeePass window used to appear at the place on my two screens where I exited last time, like all other windows apps. But now, after entering the PW KeePass remains minimized on the taskbar. With focus, so to bring up the screen I can <Enter>. Still, it's not handy.
Anyone a solution, or is this a bug? Thanks!
Maybe you have the KeePass window set to the taskbar?
How are you opening KeePass / database? Does it make a difference if you just double click KeePass.exe?
cheers, Paul
p.s. Bug reports are for confirmed bugs. Please ask questions in one of the Discussion forums.
Sorry for posting at the wrong place, I will try to find the other spot in the future. For now:
Yes, that does make a difference. If I doubleclick KeePass.exe the KeePass window opens as expected. Of course with no open database.
Where the problem is, is that I open a hyperlink (pinned to the taskbar) with target :
"D:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "D:\Documents\KeePass\KeePass02.kdb". As said, this opens the pw dialog, and then KeePass remains minimized on the taskbar in stead of opening, as it used to do.
I suspect you have a strange setting in KeePass.ini that is telling KeePass to stay minimized. Shut down KeePass and rename KeePass.ini - see the Help for locations - then try your shortcut again.
cheers, Paul
So I renamed the .ini, then restarted. But the behaviour is exactly the same: shows pw dialog, then gets minimized. This is so weird...
Aha, but this sets me on the trail: it's not KeePass, it's the Windows shortcut! This shortcut is pinned to the taskbar (so I cannot even access the properties!) So I unpinned it, check the properties and there it is: "Run Minimized". Well, I am telling you, I did not do that. Anyway, that solves it.
Thanks Paul!
