There are also some Scripting Methods that can be used to Send the VGHD.exe process to the BackgroundIt can then be Hidden behind other windows.Pause the clipUse the Script
First of all, I want to thank you, Wyldanimal, from the bottom of my heart! Really, you've explained everything in such details, even what to do with py files
😇(though i, personally, would never thought about using python in such a task
😧).
I have achieved similar effect with autoit, the problem is that this is something to be expected built-in, imho.
Firstly, we have to do several actions, in your case : pause clip, run script instead of 1 (like shortcut to hide istripper)
More impotantly, we are not devs - so our back doors have side effects, like in your case : istripper becomes non-topmost "forever", i have some ideas as to why (qt windows are very capricious, you change order for ALL windows, while we need only one with media playback, etc.) - but this is irrelevant, i'm sure my work around has similar or worse aftereffects.
Well, I rephrase it in suggestions topic, would really like to see as built-in feature.
