Hi,
I am using the new Mozart 1.4.0 on a Mac.
My problem may sound like nit-picking, but this is really
inconvenient: newly created Tk windows tend to appear *behind* Emacs
(the OPI). Unlike in the previous version, a newly started Tk
interface does not show up as standard a Mac application (e.g., there
is no entry in the panel). So, there is no standard keyboard short
cut to bring the window to the front: you have to (re)move the
windows in front of it! Funnily, once the Tk window had the focus,
then it does show up as a Mac application (actually, as a Windows
application from the Parallels virtual machine...).
Does anyone perhaps have an idea how one can conveniently switch the
focus to any newly created Tk window (e.g., by any proprietary
keyboard shortcut I just don't know)? Alternatively, would it be
possibly to bring the Tk interface back to the stage it was at
version 1.3.*? That older interface was also not exactly convenient
(e.g., there was no standard keyboard shortcut for cycling between Tk
windows), but at least one could always bring a new Tk window to the
front.
Just installed Mozart 1.4.0 on another Mac, and things were less
problematic. More specifically, an entry is created in the doc for
Tk windows, so one can switch there with a shortcut. So, nevermind
the previous comment if that happens only on specific computers :)
I have experienced this problem when having tk installed with fink.
Personally i think that with fink and macports you can convert your
system in a mess of libraries. Tcl/Tk is an example of that, you
can have coexistent installations of it and at the end, not know
which is the one used. At this moment mozart runs on mac os x
without needing neither fink or macports an that hopefully simplify
bug reporting.
Thanks for your reply. The funny thing is that the Mozart Tk
interface on 1.3.2 and 1.4.0 differs (on my machine and can switch
between Mozart versions, just change some environment vars). I tried
to check in SVN how the Tk interface changed in the new version. In
trunk/mozart/platform/wish only the configure script changed. Is the
interface defined elsewhere?
Thanks!
Best
Torsten
