Running indicators not shown for batch files

from Stardock Forums

When I add a shortcut to the dock that runs a batch file, the running indicator is not shown below my shortcut.

 

Is there some arguments I need for this?

Likely it isn't showing because it's the command line (cmd) that is actually running, not the batch file itself. Calling "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c yourbatchfile.bat" instead may get you what you are trying for.

Thanks for the hint, but it did not work.  I even tried to download a bat to exe compiler, that did not work either.

I am guessing that the app is starting in the background, and since the batch file has finished, the indicator goes away.
