Hot Keys, Hidden Tray Icon

Hi have configured Shutter and shutter beta for shutdown at a fixed everyday time.

It works.

The tray icon is hidden (as configured), but now i cannot acces to the administration gui.
How can i access to the gui? any hot key or parameter?

Thanks.

Re: Hot Keys, Hidden Tray Icon

The option "Never Show Tray Icon" is deprecated, as of Shutter v3.0. You should use "Protection" feature if you don't want to allow anyone else interacting with Shutter.

In your case, you need to do one of the following:
a) Delete entire configuration file Shutter.ini, or
b) Replace "HideTrayIcon=1" with "HideTrayIcon=0" within Shutter.ini.

By the way, beside that option there was a warning sign. Once clicked, it will display this message:

Once the Tray Icon is hidden, the only way to access the application is via the main window, and once the main window is minimized - application will become invisible to the user! The only way to close the program is to terminate the process via the Task Manager.

If you enable this option, Tray Icon will always be hidden, even when you restart the program! If the main window will be hidden as well, the only way to get Shutter's interface back is by deleting the INI file which is stored in the same directory as Shutter.
