Auto-hide menu bar icons.

Even with #23 implemented, I feel like this should also be a feature

[Najtram]

I love this app. Would be nice to have an autohide after 5 seconds?

[Mortennn]

I am working on it😀

[Najtram]

GREAT, can't wait.

Can it listen menu bar focus event? I hope it can auto hide when menu bar lost focus.

[flypenguin]

that would be super awesome! since @Mortennn said he's working on it ... any progress? ;)

[liyuxi]

have any progess now?

我正在做😀

[peppy]

Would love to see rehide-after-delay functionality. Also, is there any reason this is not open source? I'd happily contribute this change if it was.

[gingerbeardman]

Same @peppy. I've found an old version in a fork but it feels like this could/should be easier?

[Tydox]

I would also love this, auto hide after 15\30 seconds, or X amount of time.

[gingerbeardman]

Here is the fork of 2.2.0
https://github.com/gingerbeardman/Dozer

[Tydox]

I mean I am using 3.0.5 already, not sure what I am suppose to do with what you sent, I am missing the cue here or what?
Thanks nonetheless.

[gingerbeardman]

Given that v3 source code has been removed, possibly abandoned, perhaps the only option is if we add the features ourselves to v2 and go from there? Just a thought.

[Tydox]

Makes sense.
I don’t have much time on my hands but I might check with some friends maybe we can make a new app since this is not updated anymore :(

It is fairly simple in terms of what’s needed.
Animation in/out
Auto hide
Button to hide/show
Region parameters
Menu interactive functions
Icon

I could be missing some but this is what I was thinking to build...

Did the dev abandon this project?
How different is v2 from v3 in terms of stability and features?

[Mortennn]

You can test this in master9390ba7.

Checkout CONTRIBUTING.md on how to build Dozer.

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks Morten!

[gingerbeardman]

I built it, and this feature seems a bit buggy.

• the delay is inconsistent - not always 10 seconds
• the app has crashed with the dozer bar being half closed (one dot) and unresponsive.

I'm not sure why. Maybe a timers not being reset?

[Mortennn]

1. The 10 seconds delay resets if you drag one of the status bar icons or if you interact with a status bar icon. Though, I did find the auto-hide not working when the preferences window were open. It will get fixed before release.
2. Can you reproduce this?

[gingerbeardman]

1. OK
2. It's happened multiple times, but I have not yet tried to reproduce it on demand.

[Mortennn]

If you got time, it would be great if you could try to reproduce it.

[gingerbeardman]

I will try.

Meanwhile, I have found that the timeout still hides them even if I am interacting with them.

In the video below I click to open the Dozer bar, then wait 5 or so seconds and click Alfred menu item to open and close it. Then I wait and Dozer auto closes in only a few seconds, whereas I would expect 10 seconds. Dozer Preferences is not open.

[Mortennn]

The issue should be resolved now.

I have moved the code detecting if the user is dragging some icons to another branch because there were too many issues involved. IMO 10 seconds should be enough to rearrange the status bar icons.

In my testing, auto-hide works pretty well now.

[gingerbeardman]

Something has gone wrong and there are missing files in the repo as it stands (eg. no Xcode project file)

[Mortennn]

use make build. The Xcode project file is generated.

[gingerbeardman]

Ah, yes! I had figured that out once before. 😬

[gingerbeardman]

OK, I have built debug version.

I upgraded to Mojave only recently, last weekend, I am not sure if the Dozer beta freezing was on High Sierra. Will keep watching.

I usually build Archive for release version but this fails (have tried restarting my Mac) if I change the signing in any way. Have to keep it as None/None/None for it to build release version.

[Mortennn]

Could you click on the error to see which script is failing?

You can safely delete the script and then archive because it is probably just one of the scripts required to sign the application properly for distribution.

[Mortennn]

@gingerbeardman The new features are available in beta.1.

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks! I've been using a build from a couple of days ago so will switch over.

[SaddemAmine]

Did we eventually get this feature ?

[gingerbeardman]

@SaddemAmine yes

• left click: everything left of the second dot will auto-hide
• alt + left click: everything left of the third dot will auto-hide

Let us know how you get on.

[SaddemAmine]

@gingerbeardman That part works great, unfortunately I can't choose how long it takes before hiding the icons.
10 seconds feels too short and being able to change that value would be great.

[gingerbeardman]

I'll look into it, it does annoy me sometimes. Also I think there's one place where the timer is not being reset.

[SaddemAmine]

I never used Swift but I'll see what I can do as well.

[gingerbeardman]

I just checked my build and it has the timeout modifiable.

I'm using aonez (author of Keka app) custom Apple Silicon build.
