Category: Macintosh Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Assigned to: Just van Rossum (jvr) Summary: Raise IDE output window over splash screen on early crash Initial Comment: This one was also submitted by macrulezatsofthomedotnet, but I'm not so sure about it. What do you think, would changing the DLOG resource for the splash screen have other, unforeseen side effects? The effect of the change I would dearly like: how often have I cursed the %#$ spalsh screen being in front of the error message I would really love to see... Sometimes the script short-circuits while Python IDE is starting actually, I haven't fixed that yet, but I did get around the problem of it preventing Python from starting (which is a problem because the user then cannot quit). I ResEdited the Python IDE and changed the 'DLOG' resource, such that the 'About' dialogue (the splash screen) is a window, rather than an actual dialogue. thus, when the <interrupted> window appears (showing a traceback), it moves to the frontmost instead of remaining behind the splash where it can't be read. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Date: 2006-07-15 13:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139309 IDE is deprecated in favor of IDLE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Date: 2003-03-27 15:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=45365 Much better idea! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Just van Rossum (jvr) Date: 2003-03-27 04:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=92689 Perhaps the splash screen stuff should be in a try/finally so it's guaranteed to get closed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=710374&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
