Summary0006118: AeroFlip: App doesn't appear (on Startup) & representation is too small
DescriptionTwo issues related to Aero Flip (windows key + tab) -- the posh version of alt+tab), one a bug, the other a niggle:

Bug: When mediamonkey is first opened it doesn't appear in the flip sequence, but only appears once MM plays a track.

Niggle: In aero flip the album art is used, but this image is generally tiny compared to every other window in the cycle. The actual Window should be shown instead.

Rusty,

this could be a problem. Windows 7 have introduced with custom thumbnail as an Application representation (we're using cover of the currently playing track), but problem is that same thumbnail will be shown in Flip (Alt+Tab) and Flip3D (Win+Tab). It's managed by system .. windows will ask application for a thumbnail but will not give any information where this thumbnail will be used (AeroPeek, Flip, Flip3D ?).

Now i know why WMP doesn't use custom thumbnail :-(.

Verified in 1284 but holding off on closing until it can be tested with 0006135 fixed.

Verified 1284.

Note: Aeroflip is still small when a track is playing, however, there's no way around that due to Windows Vista/7 limitations.

This feature-fix was reverted due to regressions/risk.
i.e. Aeroflip doesn't work at startup and when MM is minimized.

@Petr
I've done some tests and as we already have have hook for keyboard is it possible to make workaround using keyboard hook and send thumbnail according to our needs?

Reminder sent to: Ludek

@Ludek
As you have done keyboard hook I think that we would need to make Global Hook for WIN+SHIFT+TAB and WIN+TAB only as I think that it is better to show Album Art in Case ALT+TAB

NOTE To Petr: If Possible WIN+<any key>+TAB -> Thumbnail Request should send correct thumbnail.

Tested 1338 -- Aeroflip still doesn't seem to show MM. I don't understand what was fixed.
