CHD scans in the background?
« on: 27 February 2016, 14:07 »

With a full scan taking hours, is there any way to make chdman scan hidden in the background? Can't really use my computer for anything else whilst this is going on because command prompt windows constantly leap to the foreground and steal focus. :(

modify cmpro.ini, find Adv_MinimizeCHDMan and set it from off to on:
Adv_MinimizeCHDMan = on

Just a question - why this option is still not in gui? It could be handy to at least this as default.

Sorry for be pushy but I've set full scan including chd full test and after an hour or two off the computer I realised that those windows are again popping up. It's impossible work on desktop while scanner is working and a bit too late to quit scanning, set option and scan everything again :/
