Bump to v3.1.1: tray tooltip 'starting up' could get stuck after first launch
Bug: if v3.1 installed via auto-update on a profile with StartMinimised on, the tray icon's hover tooltip got stuck at the initial "RemSound - starting up" string. The snapshot tick was running and SetTooltip was being called every second with the live state, but Windows shell kept showing the original cached text on hover. The fix-by-workaround was a hide-then-re-show cycle which forced the shell to rebuild the icon registration with the latest NotifyIcon.Text. Root cause: NotifyIcon.Text values set BEFORE the icon's first NIM_ADD (i.e. while Visible=false) become the shell's "initial" tooltip when the icon eventually appears. Subsequent NIM_MODIFY calls from text changes DO propagate, but the shell tends to keep showing the original text on hover - presumably a tooltip-cache eviction quirk. In the resume-after-update-with-StartMinimised flow, the window briefly shows then BeginInvokes a Minimize that flips Visible=true before the snapshot timer has had a chance to fire, so the shell registers with the stale "starting up" string. Fix: drop the hard-coded "starting up" initial text from the controller ctor entirely. The controller now takes a Func<string> buildTooltip callback from MainForm and calls it in Minimize() right before flipping Visible=true, so the shell's NIM_ADD sees current live state instead of a stale string. The 1 Hz snapshot tick keeps working for ongoing live updates while the icon is visible. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

RemSound v3.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
Hot-fix for a small but annoying bug with the system
|
||||
tray tooltip after v3.1 first installed itself.
|
||||
|
||||
What was happening: if the v3.1 auto-update fired
|
||||
while RemSound was set to start minimised to the tray,
|
||||
the tray icon's hover text could get stuck saying
|
||||
"RemSound — starting up" indefinitely, instead of
|
||||
switching to the live "X peers, sending, receiving"
|
||||
summary after a second or so. Showing the main window
|
||||
and then minimising it again was the workaround.
|
||||
|
||||
What was actually going wrong: Windows registers a
|
||||
tray icon's tooltip with the shell at the moment the
|
||||
icon becomes visible. RemSound was setting an initial
|
||||
"starting up" string at construction time, and the
|
||||
shell tended to keep showing that on hover even after
|
||||
the live state had been computed and pushed through.
|
||||
The workaround (hide then re-show the icon) cleared
|
||||
the shell's cache. The fix is to compute the right
|
||||
live tooltip text once, just before the icon becomes
|
||||
visible for the first time, so the shell registers
|
||||
the icon with correct text from the start.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything else in v3.1 is unchanged.

||||
