[Gimp-user] Script Dialog Boxes Not On Top

That's disappointing, I prefer working in Single Window mode and that was a workaround I could live with. Unfortunately now, the bug even occurs when I'm not in Single Window mode. Looks like I was fooling myself too. Like you discovered, Script-Fu boxes only open properly if a previous Script-Fu box was cancelled, Single Window or not. :( -- Nightowl4272 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

The only fix (more of a workaround really) I've been able to figure out for this is to disable Single Window mode In Gimp's Windows Menu. Then Script-Fu dialogs will appear the way they're supposed to. I've tested this on Win7 32 & 64 bit. I'm surprised no one has responded to this...and I can't believe it hasn't been fixed. When I first started with Gimp it confused the crap out of me until I realized what was happening. I can easily see this discouraging newbies and cause them to abandon Gimp altogether. And of course, for common tasks this can be a maddening issue. -- Nightowl4272 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Just playing with this some more - Script-Fu dialogs do appear on-top if the Cancel button was used to terminate the previous Script-Fu dialog - whether or not it was the same script. Not that this is any use in practice but it might give someone a hint as to the cause of the problem. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Apologies if this has been asked already or is a known bug (I can't find any references on the net) - when activating a Python script the associated dialog box appears on top/in front of the image editing window - when a Script-Fu script is activated the dialog box appears behind the image window - necessitating a click on the tab for the script in the task bar. For the occasional use this isn't a problem but if the script is used frequently it is a pain. Is there any setting that will cause the Script-Fu dialogs to appear on top? Could this behaviour be changed in a future version of GIMP to make the Script-Fu scripts behave the same as the Python scripts - or is Script-Fu to become obsolete in future GIMP versions? I am running GIMP 2.8.14 on Windows 7 64-bit with the toolbox on one monitor and the image editing window on a second monitor. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
