Minimizing batch code, seemingly not working

Hello,
I tend to use
Code: Select all
if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0" %* && exit
'batch code here'
exit
For instantly minimizing batch files, upon use. However, when evoked from FK, it seems to not work, i.e. not get minimized. This would usually not matter much in my case, as I use ZMover, however, it is rather dysfunctional, when it concerns CMD windows... so yeah, is this perhaps some sort of a limitation of sorts?
Use batch files very frequently, so a bit of a bummer, I guess

Perhaps some sort of a hide attribute can be used like in

?

I'm not sure I understand. Can you post FastKeys command which does not work?

Sure,
I have a 'Run' command with the following content:
"C:\Users\Test\Dropbox\Offset restart 1.bat"
If I run the batch file manually, the CMD that opens upon execution, is auto-hidden due to:
Code: Select all
if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0" %* && exit
(Program initiation or whatever else here)
exit
However whenever I execute the .bat through FK, it doesn't become auto-hidden

Try Type: Command
Code: Select all
Run, C:\Users\Leon\Dropbox\Offset restart 1.bat,, Hide
Check the full syntax here:
