Minimized Procomm and Capture to File

[ebferro]

When I minimize Procomm with capture to file enabled, does it continue to capture to a file? It does not appear that it does but maybe it's what I'm trying to do with it rather than a problem with Procomm. By the way, I've got a script running that's doing the file capture if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.

I minimize Procomm all the time while capturing data, does not seem to have any affect on capturing.

I once had someone email me who was having similar problems if they started Procomm minimized. Here is some text I copied from my site in case it applies to your situation:

A recent problem I experienced had to do with a capture file not containing all of the expected data if Procomm Plus was started in a minimized state. The workaround for this problem was to start Procomm as a regular window, but include the line "winminimize $PWMAINWIN" at the end of the STARTUP.WAS script. This still causes the Procomm Plus splash screen to appear for a short time, but at least no data will be lost.
