spectre2l5 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 One of my favorite things about uTorrent PC is that you can hide it in the system tray. I like to hide applications that are essentially background processes, so this feature would be keen.The Tranmission devs shot me down citing it as outside of their design goals ::eyeroll::, so I hope you all are more open to the consideration, so thanks for that.

thelittlefire Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 ... Isn't that what the generic mac Command-H does??Menu bar addition... was shot down by more users than not before without any indicator. Close the main window, press Command-1 to bring it up. You really need to explain the request better if you are asking for additional functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcadium Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I really do see the practical use of having uTorrent in the Dock or in the Menubar together with Adium, Volume-setting, battery indicator etc. Usually torrent-apps just lie in the background and download, posing not as the main window of interest in ones daily workflow.I really hope this will be made as an option. Shouldn't be too hard to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 If you hide an app, it still shows in the dock. He wants it removed from the dock completely and instead have a Menubar icon to show that the app is running.Rather then him explaining himself again (when he already explained himself well enough), you should not post if you don't know what you're talking about.

spectre2l5 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Simple misunderstanding I'm sure. Thanks though.It is generally simple to implement. There are applications that can force dock icons to hide... but it's messy and sometimes doesn't work very well. As sighted, many applications use this to great effect. It would be nice to see uTorrent implement this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh816 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 i disagree. i would much rather my torrent app stay in the dock. a menubar item might be a nice ADDITION as an option but not to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 It is simple to hide the Dock Icon It requires one entry to be added to Info.plist. It is not so simple to make a menubar item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimiety Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 What about an animated badge on the dock (showing up/down speeds - similar to Transmission)? Useful / helpful / desired by others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Already requested well over a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectre2l5 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I certainly wasn't requesting this to be the default option, just one that can be selected in preferences. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
