[Bug] Launching ffs_batch briefly shows progress dialog

[lagunajim]

Hi. Until this new release, executing an ffs_batch file such as "sync.ffs_batch" resulted in the FFS progress dialog running entirely minimized to the systray without ever appearing.

Today's new release the progress dialog appears briefly on the display before then minimizing itself to the systray.

Thanks!

Had this issue and the 14.8 Beta fixed it!

I fixed this (Windows) by changing the launch command in RealTimeSync to:
start /min "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" <batch settings filename>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FreeFileSync XmlType="REAL" XmlFormat="2">
    <Directories>
        <Item>C:\SomeFolder</Item>
        <Item>D:\SomeOtherFolder</Item>
    </Directories>
    <Delay>10</Delay>
    <Commandline>start /min "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" C:\SomeSyncSettings.ffs_batch</Commandline>
</FreeFileSync>

'Fixed'
Still likely flashes the taskbar icon briefly as well, since the /MIN flag simply runs the command minimized. Intended native behavior is no graphical elements at all

Taskbar icon is still desired behavior -- just no flash of the sync progress dialog. The 14.8 beta you provided me a few weeks ago is working perfectly!

Fair comment - I worked around it until it was sufficiently no longer annoying :-)
