Popup at 'Run application' with option 'hidden' and STDOUT
« on: June 30, 2016, 11:54:52 AM »
The hidden-option in a 'Run application' command does not work if a STDOUT variable is set.

Is the app a console application?

Or... does 'hidden' work when STDOUT is not set?

It's a console app. 'hidden' works as long the STDOUT field is blank.
If 'Wait until the launched application exits before continuing' is set and you write a {TXT}-name into the STDOUT field, you'll see the console window (on focus).

There are certain rules that need to be followed when executing something and capturing STDOUT.  I think I have it fixed for console apps...  Forms apps, on the other hand, seem to not be as easy o_O. 

Hopefully, I can get it out to, 'unofficial' this evening.  I'll let you know.

Oh, I thought it would be only a small bug fixing thing. sorry. But it works great now, thank you. This becomes the stablest VA I've ever used.

This was an easy one to work out, actually.  I kind of like using the, 'unofficial' release approach, as it gets fixes out faster for those that need it instead of waiting on a beta release.  I'll package up the betas as usual...  when the number of fixes gets to a certain point or if a critical fix needs to go out.

Thanks for letting me know!
