No option to bring back transfers panel to foreground, once sent to background
Hello, I'm using the Commander interface option. There seems to be no option to bring the transfers panel back to the foreground (as a modal window), once it has been sent to background.
Thanks and cheers.
WinSCP version: 6.6.1 beta (Build: 17216 2026-01-01)
OS version: Windows 25H2 (OS Build: 26200.8246)
I noticed the same behavior recently while testing the newer beta builds in Commander mode. Once the transfers queue is pushed to the background, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious option to restore it as a separate modal window again.
As a temporary workaround, I’ve been reopening it through the transfer queue icon or by starting another transfer, but that’s definitely not as convenient as having a direct “bring to front” option.
It might be an intentional UI change in the beta, but honestly it feels more like something that was overlooked. Hopefully the developer can clarify whether this is expected behavior or a bug in 6.6.1 beta.
Thanks for reporting it along with the build details.
