Trayifier 1.2.3

Trayifier
A small windows utility to hide any application's window and create a tray icon for it. Mostly it is meant to tack on a tray icon and minimize-to-tray function to software that doesn't come with that option.
Installation
Trayifier is strictly a windows utility. It may be installed via pip for Python 3.6+ via pip install trayifier
A help menu is available via trayifydbg -h
You may also download a standalone compiled executable here.
How to Run Trayifier
If Trayifier was installed via pip, two commands will be available: trayify and trayifydbg. The first is silent and non-blocking, the second will stay active on the console and print help & debug information to it.
There are multiple ways to run Trayifier:

Install Trayifier via pip and execute it via trayify -f path\to\exe, either via the terminal or via a script or shortcut. This will also work via trayify -f path\to\directory\with\one\exe if there is exactly one executable in that directory other than Trayifier itself.
Run trayify without specifying an executable, Trayifier will check if there is a single executable other than itself in the current working directory and just run that.
Put the compiled standalone executable into a directory that contains exactly one executable other than Trayifier itself, and run it without any additional arguments. Trayifier will then automatically choose that other executable to run. Note that due to PyInstaller limitations, the standalone executable does not currently support verbose mode.

By default, Trayifier will attempt to extract the tray icon from the executable file itself, and if that fails, the standard Python icon will be used instead. If you want the tray icon to be something specific, create an .ico file of the same name as the executable you want to run and place it in the same directory, for example: Run-me.exe for the executable and Run-me.ico for its icon file, located right next to each other.
Behaviour of Trayifier
Trayifier will run the target application and create a tray icon for it. Either double-clicking the icon or right-clicking and then choosing Toggle will hide and bring the window up again, respectively. When Exit is chosen from the menu, Trayifier will attempt to close the application via a SIGTERM signal. If the trayified process ends, the next time trayifier registers an event (such as clicking the tray icon), trayifier will stop running.
Known Issues

It is not currently possible to pass arguments to the trayified application.

Possible Future Improvements

Add a mode to bring up a mechanism to choose an already open window to add a tray icon to.
Detect when the window is getting minimized and offer actual minimize-to-tray functionality.
The size of the compiled version is quite large and startup time is not optimal, maybe a different compilation process such as Nuitka might yield better results.
