Two new MCWS issues with Linux
avid:
Thanks for the InstallJRMC reference. I had not spotted that capability. I will experiment with it to see the user-mode systemd service is more robust. InstallJRMC does seem very flexible.

I can certainly minimize the window in this way. But nothing I have tried has allowed me (on Ubuntu) to cause MC to display it again. I have tried MCC_MAXIMIZE_WINDOW, MCC_RESTORE_WINDOW, MCC_SET_MODE (of lots of values). I have also tried different mc31 command line parameters. Nothing causes the minimized window to redisplay. They work fine on Windows. The docked MC icon on the Linux desktop animates to attract attention. But I have to explicitly click with my mouse on the icon to get Ubuntu to display anything from a minimized MC. This totally defeats the intent of a system purely controlled through MCWS with a 10-foot view and smart remote control.
Is this a Linux "security feature" that requires user interaction in order to display anything on the desktop??
Even MCC_SET_MODE(UI_MODE_MINI) only briefly displays the "mini" window before minimizing it off the desktop, such that I can't bring it back.
So I can only leave MC permanently displayed on the HTPC desktop, turning the screen off when not wanted. Is this the best I can do? Or is there some other MCWS command I have missed?

I don't know the answer, but we'll make sure to find one for you or make a change.

Thank you. I know that I am operating at the very edge of what is sensible to do with MC, but it's so near ...
JimH:
It's OK. It's good for us.
