Hi, i think its annoying when rendering that you can't minimize FF without having to do the right click show desktop and thats still annoying, with textures they sometimes take a while here and i like to do other stuff like web browsing and using folders on my desktop with music etc, so yeah that would be a nice user friendly addition smile:)

I just noticed something odd. Sometimes it lets me minimize while rendering, other times it doesn't. I hadn't figured out a pattern to it yet.
I thought maybe it happens when specific filters were used, or while anti-aliasing, but I can't seem to duplicate when it happens.

Just put a *Show Desktop* shortcut iconer thinger on your quick launch toolbar (bottom the screen area), and you can just click on that to get out of FF without minimizing it, even from the editor area. smile;)

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!
