Salamander opens files and apps in background

Post by jantichy »

Hi, if I click on any file (and open asociated application or run selected program), it is opened in the background - and focus still remains on Salamander window. It is very uncomfortable as I am used from all the Windows environment around to get the focus to opened file/app immediately. This is only Salamander behavior, all other applications in my Windows act as usually. Is it bug? Or is there any option in Salamander to keep/pass the focus?

Environment: Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit, Altap Salamander 3.0 x64

Thank you, Jan

Please check Options > Always on Top option, isn't it checked?

Always on Top prevents other application windows from open above Altap Salamander windows. You will not be able to open these windows on top until you turn off Always on Top.

Always on Top may also have been initiated from the Salamander's Taskbar icon, right-click, Always on Top.
(Possible it is a Shift + Right-click, depending on OS & settings, ie, jumplist or standard windows menu.)
