RIDE always shows status window

abrudz commented 5 years ago

Describe the issue you are having

2036⌶0 turns off "Autostatus", that is, popping up the status window when text is written to it. RIDE seems to ignore that.

startup.dyalog, the "boot-loader" for Link, relies on this behaviour.

Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from RIDE?

How do you reproduce the issue?

This may require amending the protocol, as I see no option to add output without showing the window.

e9gille commented 5 years ago

Yes, either protocol change or the interpreter simply could omit posting the message if user turns of the feature.

abrudz commented 5 years ago

In the IDE, the message is still written if auto-status is off, but the window isn't shown, so the user can manually go and inspect what happened. Anyway, I suggest adding show: false

abrudz commented 5 years ago

I've raised issue 17116 for the interpreter side of things.

jayfoad commented 5 years ago

I suggest that the interpreter has no business telling RIDE whether to show the status window. That should be a RIDE preference.

e9gille commented 5 years ago

That should be a RIDE preference.

Sure, but at the moment the developer can suppress the window using the I-beam. I don't know where to draw the line, but at the moment RIDE isn't notified of this. We could add a preference in RIDE, set a sensible default (off?) and ignore the I-beam?

abrudz commented 5 years ago

@jayfoad No, the interpreter is not telling RIDE to show the window or not, it is just telling RIDE what the current interpreter status (the one set with an I-beam) is. RIDE (or whatever is at the other end of the line) can of course do whatever it wants with that information.
