Code /window -d @win /window -h @win /window -r @win Window will not restore back in to view on mIRC 7.55 “Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.”

This is what -w should be doing, I'm not sure if that's the same as show window aka unhide window but it's not in the help file, so scripts are not using it, most likely. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

This makes sense because it would have no effect on the size of a non-min/max state window. However, as /window -r also affects window visiblity, it should be applied to windows in a non-min/max state as well, so that a scripter will know that /window -r will make a window visible regardless of what state it is in. So I think the change makes sense.

I imagine people manage the x y coordinates and min/max/restore (restore = regular) states of their windows, while independently managing the window's visibility based on channel activity or other criteria. The change you propose would force a hidden window to become visible if it's merely repositioned. I use channel visibility based on channel activity, but since my channels are always max/min, and never regular, I don't have a bone in the fight. Other people who use tiled or cascaded windows might. Edit: Quote 31./window -a now shows a window that was hidden with /window -h. If you use /window -a, it will behave as if you used both -w and -r Last edited by Raccoon; 30/09/19 01:55 AM. Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
