  Hi Jean,
  
  I was wondering if it was possible when hitting "Save and Close", if we can hide the window and let it save/close in the background?
  
  My purpose is, my Save and Close takes near 10+ seconds as my QAP database has grown over the years. And I'd like to edit, save and close, and return to what I was doing on my PC immediately rather than look at QAP saving for 10 seconds, and then finally closing the window.
  
  If this is possible I think this would be a simple but good addition.
  
  Cheers,
  DMDComposer

  How do you work with QAP if you close it after some usage ?
  I never close QAP, its the interface to most Tools or file manager screens.
  It doesn't block any resources while running in the background.
  When the PC shuts down QAP is closing automatically.

  Hi Horst,
  
  I just mean when I go to edit a QAP command, or add a new menu or quick access etc... That's where I'm talking about "Save and Close". I definitely leave QAP running all times as it's an essential and amazing tool for my needs. =)

  Hi DMDComposer,

  I'm curious to know how big is your QAP menu?
  - how many favorites you have (you can look at the last "FavoritesNNN" number in the quickaccesspopup.ini file
  - do you use Shared menus?

  What could be done is to enable the "Minimize" button in the title bar of the QAP Customize window (it is currently greyed out). I preferred not enabling it to make sure user is saving his favorites when closing the Customize window. Before enabling it, I would just have to think about potential side effects, especially with Shared menu that could be changed by another user while it stay minimized and unsaved by another user.

  Hi Jean,
  
  According to my quickaccesspopup.ini file, I have 836 Favorites. Is that considered large for QAP?
  
  I don't believe I'm using shared menus, but I admit I'm not clear exactly what that is? I am using a few live folders, and sub menus within menus.
  
  Cheers!

  I could not tell how much is large. As long and it worth the wait time... Mine is half of that.

  The window does close in the background.
  Hit Save&Close.
  Just alt-tab or click on another program.
  You can use your PC as normal while the blue thingy is active as mouse pointer.
  
  I have shared menus across several machines, and on my weakest one, an old laptop, it takes 15-20 seconds to save.
  You don't have to wait for the window to close.
