Wish list- Open With, Option to not stealing focus

[Funvill]

Hello

I uses beyond compare with my custom CVS server,
I often check in and out source code with beyond compare using the “open with command” and a BATCH file.

The problem is that when I check in a few hundred files, the batch file steals focus every time it launches, and my computer is useless for 30+min.

It would be nice if you added an option to the “open with” dialog to stop a program from stealing focus,
so I can continue doing work while Beyond compare checks in my source code

If you use ShellExecuteEx then you can just set the nShow flag to SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE

Hi Funvill!

Nothing to solve your problem directly, but have you already tried to use WinCVS or TortoiseCVS for accessing your CVS Server?
In both tools BC can be integrated as the diff-application: http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?c=kb_vcs.php

If you use TortoiseCVS, you can also access the TortoiseCVS menu from the Actions|Explorer menu in BC 2.4 or newer to check files in/out.

I'll also add running the Open With application without stealing focus to our wish list for a future version of Beyond Compare.
