There's a plugin with--very--limited interaction with the main program through its GUI, the only interaction with it is convoluted and is minimal, to disable or enable it, that's it. The way the plugin works is it loads along with the main program while a system tray entry is added having the plugin icon.
When the plugin is doing what it's meant to help with, it uses non-negligible resources, which I'm happy to spend for its intended use but not if it activate by accident; so after I'm done with it I minimize it. However, a decent portion of the time after being minimized, the plugin system tray entry disappear and the only other way I know how to get the plugin window back up is closing the main program then reloading it. I'd rather not do that so am hoping there's a way to somehow send something to the plugin to restore its window by neither using the taskbar (it can never be interacted with that way) nor the system tray. I'm convinced the plugin is active after both being minimized and its system tray entry disappearing, as its executable is listed in Task Manager. Perhaps a command like the following can be used? windows_utility -window_status normal/restored program_name.exe
Thank you kindly for your help
