Tray icon stays after closing log window

[BlankVector]

When winuae.exe is started with -log, it opens an additional log window, that's fine. But when WinUAE is exited by closing that log window, the system tray icon stays (at least on Windows XP). This is a bug (even if not a big one).

As usual in such case, moving the mouse on the dead icon makes it disappear.

It is not a bug. Closing console (or pressing ctrl+c) more or less equals killing winuae with task manager (and it stays that way, log console is debugging option only, nothing is guaranteed).

For some annoying reason Windows won't clean up those icons automatically if program ends abnormally.

It is possible to handle such exit event.

1) With signal():

#include <signal.h>

void __cdecl myhandler(int sig)
{
	printf("Good bye\n");
}

...
	signal(SIGINT, myhandler); // Ctrl+C
	signal(SIGBREAK, myhandler); // Close console

I have tested the above, it works fine.

2) Using the low level SetConsoleCtrlHandler() to catch CTRL_BREAK_EVENT (untested).

[Toni Wilen]

Yes but I don't want it. I want ctrl+c to kill it instantly.

EDIT: I guess I can change it in release versions.

I found a workaround:
Settings > Host > Miscellaneous > Don't show notification icon

Problem solved. I'm very happy with that
