Problem Description
When "minimise to system tray" is active and you have minimised a bunch of windows to the tray, getting them to show all at once again must be done for each window manually.
For example Windows has the feature to show the desktop (clicking the lower left corner when this feature is enabled) which minimises all open windows at once. Usually to the taskbar, but for applications that implemented a mimimise-to-tray feature like FreeTube, windows get hidden behind the tray icon. As everything is supposed to work and is expected by the Windows user.
If you've had lots of windows open, minimising them takes a second, unminising takes much longer and is tedious. A quick way to do one thing should also have a quick way to reverse it, imho. Therefore some apps have a "show all hidden windows" option in their tray menu. I think FreeTube needs that, too. Maybe even a "hide all windows" for when the OS doesn't support something like show desktop or if it works differently or if the user has disabled it.
Proposed Solution
Add a "Show all" option in the tray icon menu over or under the "New window" option.
Alternatives Considered
Not really an alternative but the workaround I currently use: Go to settings and temporarily disable "Minimise to tray" which does the same thing as a "Show all" option would do, then immediately enable the "Minimise to tray" again.
