No, I have not changed the window handling (yet).

The next thing I want to do is to start PTBatcherGUI minimized to the tray.

I did not notice that, I do not switch Desktop usually. Will try and see what
can be done.

Yes, when *I* am adding new features I try not to remove existing ones and
leave users the option to fall back on their tried and tested features. There
is always an inherent conflict between new and old. I try not to get into
such conflict. When I do, I try to discuss this first with as many stake
holders as possible. The decision to make PTBatcherGUI the default stitch
engine happened on Hugin-PTX, because the change of default does change the
world to some of us. At some point hugin_stitch_project will be discontinued,
but that's only after users like you are happy to make the switch to
PTBatcherGUI. Sometimes this kind of ideal change management is not possible
- e.g. the effort to maintain the legacy behavior is too big. But it was not
the case with this change.
