Bug: ReNamer disappears from Alt+Tab list

When the Settings or Filters dialog is open ReNamer (I'm using 5.74) disappears from the Alt+Tab list.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for reporting this! I'm surprised I haven't noticed this myself.

After a quick search it turns out to be some sort of a new feature in Windows 7 and possibly Vista. This affects modal forms with "Tool Window" style, like the Settings and Filters dialogs. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3039 … -sometimes)

A quick workaround to this problem was to change the style of those forms to a normal dialog.

You can try the latest dev version.

Yeah, wonder how come I never noticed it earlier. Seems to be fixed now. Thanks Denis!

Ha, just noticed that I actually reported this almost 3 years ago here but perhaps Denis missed it and I too forgot about it. Fast forward to 2014 and this bug has finally been squashed.

I must have missed the previous report.

Persistence pays back sometimes!
