HFS-ConsoleHide2TrayT

---

Project Description

HFS-ConsoleHide2TrayT is a tool for managing the console of HTTP File Server version 3 (HFS 3), enabling its minimization to the system tray. It consists of two components:

• HFS Plugin (an agent that modifies the console title).
• Native Application (C++ tray manager).

No installation required — operates in portable mode.

Key Features

HFS Console Management

• Automatically hides the console when the app starts.
• Quick visibility toggle via the tray icon:
  • Double left-click.
  • Context menu: "Hide/Show HFS Console".
• Automatic console detection via a unique window title (format: HFS_CONSOLE_<PID>).
• Windows 11 ConPTY support (CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS). Handles HWND changes when dragging console tabs.

Technical Specifications

  • Agent: HFS plugin in JavaScript (Node.js).

Plugin Installation

1. Copy the plugin folder to \plugins in your HFS directory.
2. Activate the plugin via the HFS web interface.

An alternative method for a plugin to change the title:

    const uniqueTitle = `HFS_CONSOLE_${process.pid}`;
    log(`Setting console title: ${uniqueTitle}`);
    
    try {
        if (process.stdout.isTTY) {
            process.stdout.write(`\x1b]0;${uniqueTitle}\x07`);
            log("Used escape sequence to set title");
        } 
        else {
            child_process.execSync(`title ${uniqueTitle}`, {stdio: 'ignore'});
            log("Used title command to set title");
        }
    } catch (e) {
        log(`Error setting console title: ${e.message}`);
    }
