Census+ only works when the Census window is open.

I have Verbose turned on

I open the census+ window by typing /census+
I then press Take
It says "Census+&#58; Taking Census of characters online"
It says "Census+&#58; Sending /who 70-70"
It says "Census+&#58; Processing 45 characters"
I close the Census+ window
I've waited up to 5 minutes without any further Census+ activity

It doesn't matter when I close the window, e.g. if I let it run to "Census+: Sending /who 30-40" then close the window, it still stops.

This does not seem to be related to other addons as I've tried disabling all other addons from the character select screen and I still get the same behaviour.

For Options I have:
Automatically close who (Enabled)
Auto-start (Enabled)
Verbose (Enabled)
Auto-Census (Enabled)
Show minimap button (Disabled)
Play sound when done (Enabled)

Thank you. I have really enjoyed looking over the data collected by this addon.

As happens all too often, right after posting I seem to have found a solution. If I enable the minimap button, it works! Sorry for the bother.

Nothing like fixing your own problem

Yeah, you have to have the mini-map button enabled for it to work with the window closed.

Well, actually, you don't. I just posted a thread about this. It does work without the mini-map button showing. it's just very very very slow.

hrm... well, it shouldn't work w/o the mini button open or the window open ;p

I just realized, that I can't collect data, if the minimap button is disabled.
I can't collect data, not even very slow, when the button is disabled.

I have a lot of minimp buttons, so my interface got very overloaded, and I did disable those buttons, I don't need on regular basis.

Why is this button neccessary to collect data? I have no more place around my minimap to place more buttons....

The problem is that if a Frame (some UI display of some sort) is not shown, then you cannot do regular updates. I have been meaning to try just putting up an 'invisible' frame to get around this but to be honest, I had completely forgotten about it until now =)

Thanks for answering, Rollie!
