Description

Currently on Hydrus Client (Windows 10), if a job is running in the foreground, for example a db integrity run, it opens a new miniwindow to show it's running, it is understandable to not want users interacting with the Hydrus interface while running these jobs, however the ability to minimize is desired.

You can put other windows ontop of it, however if you close those windows, Hydrus is still stuck on the display without way of minimization.

So my request is to be able to minimize the client while runnng jobs that lock it up.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by searching the client for the miniwindow used while database integrity or other locking jobs run, then trace how that window is configured on Windows. Done means the client can be minimized while a job is running and remains protected from interaction until the job finishes.
