QAP function Always on Top no longer works
Horst > 2022-12-20 13:27
As the subject says.
I tried with serveral hotkeys an using the PopUp menu
but the current windows status isn't changed to be always on top.
I'm shure it worked in the past (I had assigned Win+T, now I tried Alt+Ctrl+T)
By some testing I found it still works for example in MS Edge and Firefox
but not in Total Commander and not in XYPlorer nor in some other tools.
Using a simple Autohotkey script works in all applications (Ctrl+Space in this test).

Hi Horst,
I just did a test, and in my case (W10 22H2 / QAP 11.5.10), it works.
But it works provided window to set "on top" is not running with administrator privileges (or, at the contrary, runs with admin privileges if QAP also run with these privileges).
Woudn' it be the case of TotalCommander or XYPlorer to run "as admin" in your situation ? -

Same thing as Laurent for me. It works as usual. -

None of my tools are running as admin.
I'm using the newest beta version of QAP.
Tested also after a reboot but stiil only working for browser windows.
Removed and re-added the QAP feature "Always on top" didn't help.
My AHK script just works fine.
I added a sound to the favorite.
There comes no message and no sound after the hotkey.
Only in browser windows it works, nothing happens in the windows of any other program. -

Hum... If you revert to the latest production release (v11.5.10) does it work in all windows? -

Yes, with version v11.5.10 its working in all windows.
Strange after changing back from the production version to the beta
its was working once in the beta to.
But now it fails again.
So for me there is something wrong with the beta.
In the production version its works fine. -

OK. I'll move your post to the Beta useras sections and follow up with you later. Thanks for reporting it. -

@Horst: Would you send me your settings file by email. I'd like to test it with your config.

Ok, mail send.
Currently I'm running the production version.

Thanks for sharing your settings file. I tested it using the same configuration (using QAP beta v11.5.99.5, 64-bit, TC, etc.) and the "Always on top" command worked on any windows, including TC, for example here for the Calculator:

The only difference between our configurations is that I tested on Win 10. I could try later on a Win 11 system.
But what is puzzling me is why it works on your system using QAP v11.5.10. When reviewing what changed between these two versions, nothing would explain why it does not work the same.
Is the issue only for the "Always on top" command? For example, if you assign a hotkeys to the "Close all windows" command or the "Drives" menu, does it work? -

Hotkeys for other function are working fine.
Tested with close all windows and the hotkey Win+T -

Two other things to try to define the issue:
Is it working if you launch the "Always on top" command from the menu instead of the hotkey (you would have to temporarily assign hotkeys to open the menu).
Rename temporarily your quickaccesspopup.ini file and restart QAP. This will create a new fresh QAP settings file. Add to the new menu the "Always on top" favorite with the usual hotkey and see if it works. -

Renaming and a fresh ini file didn't help.
Started from the menu it works !
Btw. while testing I found that even when the favorite is disabled
QAP reacts on the assigned hotkey (Ctrl-Alt-T) with an error message
which says it cant find the favorite.
This happens only while over a browser windows. -

As indicated in the error message, this happens only until you restart QAP.

I reviewed your ini file to see if some hidden option could explain this situation and found no suspect. I will insert some debugging info in the next beta release to try locate the issue.
