start minimized

I have MT set to autostart but it start in full screen i would like for it to minimize or hide the system tray.. Can this be done i don't see an option of it.. Also can the present/translator be locked so it can't be easily edited?

We will add back an option to start minimized, please see also 1.8 Minimize to tray.
There is currently no option to lock presets/translators, but we plan a "performance mode" or similar for the next version. In performance mode, you cannot edit the project.

Hey Florian,
I have a question about the keyboard characters. To pull up a blank screen with my presentation software it needs an * but bome midi doesn't understand what that is? Do you have a work around?

have you tried in the Keystroke Outgoing Action selecting "Text" rather than "Physical Keys" and enter * there?

Thanks for the reply but no that did seem to work either.. It puts a num * in the keystroke actions..

Hi, it works for me... you are on Windows, right? Which language is your keyboard?
On my American keyboard, I need to enter SHIFT+8 into the Keystroke Out Text field, and it first shows Shift, then * and keeps it as that. Also saving and reloading the project will not convert it into NUM*. So I wonder what is going on? Can you attach your project file?
Attached is my test project. Whenever you press the space bar, MIDI Translator will emulate typing *.

I have a dell laptop that I am using for the midi translator which you need to press the shiftkey to switch to Shift * function and it you couldn't delete the num lock out of the field.. I used a software number pad as a work around and it put num * in the test field.. I tried a 101 keyboard from my workstation PC and it worked fine.. So think it's something with the laptop keyboard and midi translator. But anyway I have a work around now by plugging in a 101 keyboard..

This is exactly what I'm looking for. One of the only things MIDI-OX can do (at least hide to tray) that MT pro seems to have lost as an ability. Looking forward to the next update (any experimental builds / betas perhaps?)
