Calibre and system tray

assberk · 11-23-2023, 08:57 AM

Good afternoon, please help as I could not solve this issue by myself. I have read the "frequently asked questions" article and the manual, but perhaps due to my lack of language skills I could not find an answer to my question.

I have been using the program for more than four years and after the latest update the application stopped minimizing to the system tray (notification area, the small triangle next to the date and time on the Windows 10 panel) when I close it. Since the computer is on all the time and the books are uploaded to the device via wi-fi, I need this feature so that I don't accidentally close the app at an inopportune moment.

I'm asking for help, because this problem has never occurred before, and I haven't seen any news reports that this function has been canceled.

Under Preferences->Look & feel->Main interface make sure the system tray icon is enabled
