Minimize to tray functionality about fsearch HOT 8 OPEN

Yes, that's possible and already planned. I just need to figure out how to implement it in order to support most or all desktops (plasma5, unity, xfce, ...).

Additionally, I would like it to minimize to tray automatically after I double-click on a file.

It is nice that it will minimize to the active application area of the bar, any chance there could be an always running daemon/ taskbar icon with a global hotkey that pulls up the search window similar to https://github.com/stnkl/EverythingToolbar ? (not the actual searching from the task bar portion, I like the current standalone window. Just the fact that its already open and there. Side note as well, I wish you could actually have an image preview when searching for images)

It would be great if it ran like a daemon, to always keep the search results refreshed in the background, similar to Albert. Have it do a full search refresh upon first opening it, unfortunately, feels like it... not defeats the purpose, but is more like a step in the wrong direction toward the goal of being able to quickly find what you are after. If it ran as a taskbar daemon upon login and then just refreshed the search index now and then, if you say, pressed ctrl + alt + f at any time, it could pop up, fully loaded, indexed, and ready to go.

Thanks,

Has it come to true?

@l0rraine, no not yet. With the GNOME developers removing the tray in GNOME Shell and the deprecation of the status icon API in GTK+, at least I don't have to bother with their crap anymore. So it seems we either need to go for Appindicator or StatusNotifier but I don't know how well they are supported on the common platforms. Need to do some research on that.
