transmission doesn't minimize to the taskbar

[Pablo Marchant]

Binary package hint: transmission

After an update some time ago with intrepid (I don't remember precisely when) transmission no longer minimizes to the sistray when closed...How can I fix this??

i'm experiencing the very same problem, what happened?
did you simply remove the feature of minimizing to the tray?
strange this is!
came with the system upgrade to intrepid alpha and never left ever since..

It seems very strange to mee, since no one ever answered this and it seems pretty annoying. Transmission is the kind of programs you just want to be on the tray without filling up your window selector, yet, for some reason, this feature was removed and hasn't been fixed for a long time now...I just wonder if they really removed the feature on purpose, or they did something that killed it...

The default behavior was changed so that Transmission adheres to the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines.

To minimize to the taskbar click on the Transmission's taskbar icon.

If you don't have an icon of Transmission in the taskbar, enable it via the View menu.

guess it would be good to have an option enabling the old way

What Charles wrote (2 posts up - charles 2008-10-20:) makes sense to me, apart from having to come to find the answer it is good for UI to have consistency, now if only we can have that "View" option in all apps...
