Option to Not Minimize/Close to System Tray

Hi @Yula, I think you should reconsider your decision. I ‘ve few good reasons to do that:

• Minimalize application to system tray instead of close them after click on the close button is very rare and annoying.
• Deezer in system tray is still running in system memory. It’s not good for electron framework. It makes many bugs and issues with Deezer. If you closed the one properly, you would have more stable application. I guarantee it!
• It’s a quick win! Every single junior developer can handle it in few hours.
• We’ve been waiting for it more then three years! If you don’t deliver that, it will be slap in the face of your loyal customers.

Please @Yula, let me know your decision. Desktop app is terrible and behaviour like this makes me crazy! It makes me consider leaving. If you want to speak off record, of course, you can send PM.

Hello @jirikovoego, unfortunately it is not my decision, the product team has its own roadmap of all the things they will work on during the year, 

we present them the most popular ideas from the community to consider implementing, but they only consider ideas that have A LOT of votes and even then, sometimes they don’t think it is the right thing to do (see Deezer on Linux). 

The tech team has decided not to invest anymore on the Desktop App, even though we have defended it on the part of the community, 

they will not work on developping the desktop app anymore and will focus on implementing the web page instead. 

Sorry about that! 

Hello, 

I’m giving Deezer a try, and the fact that you can’t close the app easily is really annoying. It might be a dealbreaker for me.

@Yula you said that the product team decides which feature is implemented only based on the number of votes? Even if the suggestion doesn’t make any sense?

You don’t even consider basic UX, or what is painful for your customers? 🤔

It’s not very encouraging!

@Yula  thanks for the info about no longer developing the Desktop app, now I know to cancel my trial and go with Apple Music.

sorry to see you go. i hear good things about apple music, especially from older folks. best of luck and you are always welcome back at deezer. 🙂

Hi there, any update about this annoying behaviour? Change this approach would take max few hours for junior developer :(

Hello @jirikovoego thanks for your message. 

I know that the electro team is working on improvements in the UX but they haven’t revealed what were those improvements.

Regarding the fact that pressing the “X” doesn’t close the app, pretty sure you are aware that you can close the app, by pressing the right button over the Deezer icon and select “Quit Deezer” that will close Deezer.

Fingers cross that another option will be develop to please all our PC users.

Wow. Version 7 has been released. This issue persists for more than five years. Unbelievable.

Amazing that I’m here upvoting a thread from five years ago for a basic problem that still hasn’t been addressed. Please put it back on the table for consideration.
