• FIDOIN event issue

    From RickV@VERT to All on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 18:31:45
    Hello everybody!

    In my FIDOIN event I have a java script that I created that runs a couple of other things and tosses the mail, but when it runs it opens a normal sized window on the PC instead if being minimized. This seems to have started a few months ago and I can't figure out why. Anyone have a thought on this? It was minimized in the taskbar before.

    Windows 11/64 Pro
    Synchronet 3.21e

    Thanks,
    RickV

    How do you have the FIDOIN event configured in SCFG?

    Do you have Options = XTRN_MINIMIZED (likely with other option flags) in the [bbs] section of your ctrl/sbbs.ini file? This correlates with the "Minimize externals" checkbox in the SBBSCTRL->Terminal Server->Config dialog.
