5.92 (and previous), annoyance: Stealing focus

[onoehring]

Hi,

for me an annoyance is, that AG is stealing the window focus. Let's say I am starting to generate an application, and instead of waiting, I want to switch to a different windows software. Suddenly I am back in AG again.
There are several occurences (one other is for example when you are starting AG and/or loading a project).
I hate when an application (in this case AG) steals the focus and returns me to that it's own.

+1 from me.

I have noticed that this annoying activation/focus behaviour does not always happen. But as soon as it has happened once, it will keep focusing the progress-form. After closing AppGini and reopening it works fine for a while.

Especially when having dozens of tables generations takes its time and we are damned to wait for the end due to that focus behaviour.

It would be awesome to have a "silent" / "hidden" code generation NOT activating the progress/log window. Perhaps a checkbox "keep open" at the bottom if the form?

To make sure I understand what you are referring to, do you mean that AppGini "steals" the focus while generating the app and the log window is displayed? I'll check this and try to perhaps implement a 'silent' mode.

Yes, while generating, AppGini activates the protocol window again and again every n milliseconds. This continuously steals focus from other windows (eg Browser) and sends them to back (z-index) and focuses protocol window.
