Hi Jeremy,
thank you very much for your suggestions, I'll try to better understand
why capture fails to load my data.
I updated Veusz to the last version from the git repository, now (on
windows 7) I can minimize the dialogues, but I think that their
behaviour become a bit strange. When I minimize a dialogue, since it is
not shown in the windows taskbar, I have no way to remake it visible!
The only way to show the hidden dialogue is to minimize veusz main
window and then to maximize it, this way the main window and the
dialogue become visible. Perhaps the dialogues like reload and capture
should be visible in the taskbar.
Ciao,
Valerio.

It should work. It's been a while since I tested it on Windows, however,
but the code hasn't changed. The code tries to read line-by-line from
the file in a separate thread, returning data to the GUI when it can.
I suspect it might depend whether your logging program opens the log
file once, or repeatedly reopens it.
If you know python, you could try this loop to see whether it works
while your program is logging:
f = open(r'\path\to\logfile')
while True:
print f.readline()
It might be possible to write a short script to return new data in the
log file and use that instead, rather than a file.
Is there a way to hide the reload window while it works with the "reload
every" option enabled or at least to iconify or minimize or hide it?
Now, in order to see the plot, I have to move the reload window in a
corner of the screen while keeping it visible, and this is really annoying.
The minimise button is there on Linux, but not Windows. It looks like I
need to add a window style hint to the non-modal dialog boxes to make
them minimisable. You can resize the dialog, if that helps.
I'll fix this. I thought there may be some tool for hiding windows in
Windows, but I can't see anything.
Jeremy
