This will be fixed in the next build.

I'm not a dev, but I expect that most launchers release focus to the app that's been launched (no one wants the launcher to stay in focus).

I've been able to replicate the problem, upon double-clicking MediaMonkey.exe from file explorer, but not when launching 'normally' via the Start Menu (see details at https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18622 ). Does the problem occur for you when launching via the Start Menu ?

Hi Rusty,

It's a normal install, but I think you're correct about the executable shortcut -- I have both MM4 and MM5 installed, so I probably dragged a shortcut to the MM5 .exe to my iconbar. Out of cuirosity, why would launching the executable have a different behavior than launching the installfile-created shortcut?

Hi Rusty,
I am also facing this issue on my laptop. This is a portable installation and I open MMW5 from a Windows desktop shortcut.

I have attached a debug log to ticket:

If yes, can you clarify whether it's a regular installation or portable, and provide a log?

Thanks!

I'm unable to reproduce. Can you please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why this happens in your setup.

Happens here too ... not to much of a bother but would be nice to be fixed

Hello,

When opening MediaMonkey 5, it always opens in the background (i.e. the icon flashes on my iconbar to tell me it's opened, but it doesn't appear in the foreground / "active" window even if nothing else has been clicked.) This causes me to have to click the icon on the iconbar to bring it to the front (or I suppose Alt+Tab would work, or minimizing everything else manually, but that's even worse.)

I'm running MM 5.0.2.2523 in Win10.
