Can the new interface include a JBreak button, and also be responsive even whilst a program is running? It is nice to be able to edit or at least read code whilst a program is running but currently the windows (including plot windows) white out.
I don't know the mechanics of it, but sometimes when you do something wrong and want to interrupt execution with JBreak, it can be several minutes before the interrupt occurs (especially when there has been a lot of swapping), would be nice if clicking JBreak resulted in instant return to prompt. I understand though that the bottleneck might be the OS rather than J. 2009/10/14 Raul Miller <[email protected]> > On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 10:26 PM, Chris Burke <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I would like to rework project manager for J7, and have put up a > > proposal at > > http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Beta/Project%20Manager.
