Hi! I tried using Run -n to play a list of youtube videos I have written on an ini file. The first time the browser opens its hidden as assigned by the -n switch. However when it goes to open up the second link on the list it creates a tab and makes the browser window the main window (so it's not minimized the second time around). So is this a bug?

Oh and here's the code in question

Code:
alias -l playYT {
  var %file songrequest.ini
  if (!$ini(%file,0)) { return }
  ; -----------------------------------------
  var %song $ini(%file,1)
  run -n www.youtube.com/watch?v= $+ %song
  var %timer $calc($ini(%file,%song,1) + 7)
  remini %file %song
  .timerplayYTcont 1 %timer playYT
}

First of all remove -l from the alias because you are running an timer that calling an local alias and timer cannot trigger that alias. also (i am not sure but) try replace /run -n with /url command to see if it solve this, also what mIRC version are you using for?

7.38? The new one.
The timer runs fine and I've tested the script so I know the timer works. Unless that affects the run -n?
Run -n does open up the browser window and at first it has the window hidden. When it opens up a second tab (this is whether the first tab has been opened by the script or opened by myself) it pops up. So this is more so an issue of convenience than serious trouble.
And I was using url until I found out that Run -n can minimize the window...well sort of.

Thanks for your bug report. When you specify -n with /run, mIRC passes the minimize option to the application and it is up to the application to process it. In this case, it looks like if the browser is running for the first time, it processes the option correctly, however if the browser is already running, it ignores the option. This is something the browser developers would need to fix.
