Option to not open Command Prompt window on start. #30

Closed ethanhs closed 5 years ago

ethanhs commented 6 years ago

I just started using AW and I ran aw-qt.exe. To my surprise it opened a logging window, which I am sure is nice for debugging, but I'd like an option to turn it off. Thank you for this program!

Thanks for creating an issue!

You're right. I don't think we can make it an option but not showing it should definitely be the default. It's something that can be easily fixed by a minor modification to the build process (you can see the line we need to change here: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-qt/blob/master/aw-qt.spec#L48) so I'll get around to doing that.

I mentioned this to you a couple of weeks ago aswell @ErikBjare, I guess we both forgot to do anything about it. It looks incredibly ugly and the logs are available anyway, so I removed it now in df609bb. In my opinion that is almost worth doing a point release for in my opinion, it is quite annoying and makes you not want to use it on a day-to-day basis on Windows.

It seems this was reverted in https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-qt/commit/c1f4a5ddf5fb573fcf51ae0a68138e1520365c92

Yeah, that change might have unintended consequences on other platforms. The PR here describes the issue and proposes a fix: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-qt/pull/31

Has been fixed and released a while back, closing.
