Hi - Can we have the app appear in the taskbar as soon as it's launched and when it waits for a password to be entered if auto-loading a file? I like the addition of a splash screen in the latest preview but it's a chore to look for where the app's password screen is if you are working on other things in parallel and it is taking a few seconds to load your file. I either have to minimize everything else or use the Alt+Tab to find where the password prompt is to open MD.

I am on MD 2024.2 preview 5146 on Windows 10.

    Hi Ali,

    My "solution" for having a Moneydance icon appear on the taskbar is to have it open to the 'Welcome to Moneydance" screen.
    You will need to tap the Enter key to invoke the Password form but I've found that doing so quickly becomes second nature.

    Hi Kevin - I appreciate the tip! Thank you!

    Still hoping the developers pick this up since it's standard behavior in all the apps I have tried in this category.
