Summary: Inconsistent Popup

Initial Comment:
Preface:  I am using Ayttm since it is one of the only IM 
iterations that will pop-up when an in-progress 
conversation that is minimized receives a response. With 
that said...

I have users complain that the pop-up does not, well, 
pop-up.   When I walk over and have them initiate a 
new chat and test it, well, of course it seems to work 
ok.  However, I have had several similar experiences in 
my own use where I have a chat minimized, someone 
responds, and it does not pop-up.  It usually pops-up, 
but not always.  Is this a simple misunderstanding of the 
parameters?  If I am typing in an active MS Excel 
document and someone responds to my IM will it simply 
flash and not popup?  

Thanks

patches), Ayttm 4.6.1  release dated 1/22/04

Actually I was talking about the Chat window popup. Quite
frankly I have never seen it work. I never worried about it,
but like putting AYTTM into the tray it is on the list of
things to add/reinvent for windows.

i think there's some confusion here.  Eric is talking about
the chat window popping up, while Edward is talking about
ayttm popping up.

Yes, the chat window does get raised, and this works
perfectly on linux (sometimes too perfectly for my likes). 
How it works on windows is anyone's guess.  Gtk is not a
native windows ui toolkit, and Gtk+1.2 is definitely
deprecated.  Chances are that some things aren't going to
work as expected.

We're working on many things, but windows isn't our forte,
with just Edward working on it.  If anyone could help him
out with development, that would be great.

Very interesting.  In Preferences there is an option for "raise 
chat window when receiving a message".  It usually works 
pretty well.  It is an item that actually sets your product 
apart from all others right now.   

Thanks

AYTTM is not designed to popup at the moment. It never has
for me, it just flashes. We can add that as a future feature.
