Maybe we can modify the GUI preferences: Default: All dialog boxes close after a run is complete In Preferences: Tick this box if you want the dialog boxes to be closed manually (i.e. stay after a run)
something that direction might meet both edges. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Michael Barton [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 3:49 PM To: GRASS developers grass-developers Subject: [GRASS-dev] reducing screen clutter Periodically, there are complaints about 'screen clutter' with GRASS. I realized yesterday that a big cause of this is that each time a module is called, a new instance of its dialog opens. So if you use v.buffer but don't close the dialog, and then call v.buffer again GRASS opens a second v.buffer dialog...and a third and a fourth, etc. So there seems to be the need to have the wxPython parser module to just bring the window for a module to the front if it is already open instead of opening another instance. Sounds simple but is probably somewhat complicated of course. But it would help the clutter problem a great deal. Michael _____________________ C.
