Thank *you*. Reports from a fresh set of eyes is the best way to
make things better.
However, when I do so the existing designer window does not go away
- it hangs around in the background. I can't close it or minimize
it unless I minimize the new window first. Only then can I get rid
of it.
You should be able to click the close box of the original
window, right? Or select it from the Window menu?
You can have multiple design windows open at once - this is
going to be critical when the Class Designer is no longer just a
stand-alone app, but a part of the IDE. I suppose if the original
window isn't changed at all, it could be closed, but I've never found
it a problem to close unwanted windows. Also, do you know that you
can pass the path to the .cdxml file to the command to launch the
Designer, and have that open up as the initial design window?
Maybe your intent is to be able to have two design windows up at
the same time?
Or 3, or 12, or...
If so then I think that this should be a special menu item because
the most common action would be to open an old .cdxml file and
expect it to replace the empty one created when the designer starts
up.
I guess when I've wanted to work on a saved file, I've always
launched the Designer with:
python Designer.py mySaved.cdxml
One thing you may note is that there is also no 'New' menu
option. I thought about adding that, but I think it would be best to
figure out how these are all going to work together in an IDE first.
