Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums > Testing / Bug Reports > Status Window Refuses To Show Up

Hi, whenever I launch VirtualDub 1.9.11 (build 32842/release) with a script file to make a subtitle embedding process, it will absolutely refuse to obey the "Show status window" previous setting, which is set to ON all the time. I have to manually go to the View menu and re-activate the option to show the status window.

Unfortunately, the VD scripting system does not provide any means to enable/disable the status window on the VCF scripts to use as a workaround for this error.

Alternatives:
1. Fix the bug and try to obey the previous status window status
2. Add a command such as VirtualDub.ShowStatusWindow(1) to the VCF scrips (this command should be definitely present)
3. Both of the above wink.gif

I use VirtualDub to embed subtitles with DivXLand Media Subtitler (which I develop) but this has nothing to do with the problem; I tried from the command line as well and the status window is always hidden)

The status dialog is intentionally hidden by default during batch operations to avoid autonomously popping up dialogs during the batch process. In current versions, there is an option in Preferences under the Batch category that allows the visibility of this dialog to be controlled separately for batch/scripted operations.
