Minimized e-g- that the POV- window just starts,
goes minimized  to the Taskbar, does its bussiness and the leaves.

Someone who works on that PC , would not even have to see that its running.

(If I am right the old AMIGA-POV had that Option :-).)

We already had this conversation a couple of weeks ago.  I'm trying to solve
the same problem you are.  Right now, I'm working on a POV GUIEXT, so I can
start render's without POV coming to the front each time.

If I had known that this option is not there,

it does not seem to be heavy to look for a window with that title,

and if you find it, you "Post it a message" it shall minimize.

I think we can solve this problem.

I thought there is a commandline switch /silent or like that.

Ok, if its not I'll solve the problem diffrent.

If your POVQuiet.exe is ready, I would like to try it.

Currently it would be a good Add-On for my SMPOV Add-On.

Hopefully it does not need any installation ... ?

That does it !
Render-Agent 2 is on its way ...

SUB MinimizeWindow(a AS LONG)
   LOCAL WindowHandle AS LONG,c$,b&,d$
   c$="Pov35MainWinClass"+CHR$(0)
   WindowHandle = FindWindow(BYCOPY c$,BYVAL %NULL):' FN
   ShowWindow WindowHandle, %SW_MINIMIZE
   END SUB
