Questions / Re: Is there any way I can have Musicbee not popping up whenever I play a new track?
« on: September 11, 2018, 10:40:56 AM »I'm still not sure what you're asking. Are you double clicking files in Windows Explorer as you say in your first post, having them open in MB, but not wanting MB to come to the front at that time? If so, I don't think there's a way. That's pretty much standard Windows behavior.
This. I do not except MB to come to the front EVERY TIME I double click a file in Windows Explorer (apart from the time you first launch it). And this is not necessarily standard Windows behavior, it's up to the program's settings/design to enforce that behavior or not. As a matter of fact I looked it up trying to find a workaround, but every conversation in forums results in the general consensus that users cannot really do anything about it and it's up to each program's dev to enforce that behavior or not.
I am looking to fully migrate from Winamp to MB and that's not the case there which is probably the reason it bugs me so much.
I really do like Musicbee overall but as I've explained, having it stealing focus each time I am trying to locate a specific song between others or preview 2 secs samples is really annoying.
I believe what I am asking is clear by now but I'll just break it in steps just in case:
*Focus in Windows Explorer
*Doubleclick a music file ----> Musicbee launches
*Focusing in Windows Explorer again
*Doubleclicking another music file ----> Musicbee comes to the front AGAIN. Winamp and other music player programs I've tried stays in background unless you click on its icon in windows taskbar.
I am not sure how easy it's for the devs to give a "stay in background" option but personally, I'd really appreciate it.
