Stella autoclose & location #7

Closed mengstr closed 5 years ago

mengstr commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to have the old Stella window autoclose and reload when I press the rocket again? And also make Stella appear at a specified (or at least the previous) location on the screen?

I guess this might be very OS specific....

I'll have to see if I can track what is opened by the run call - not sure... Otherwise there for way for Windows using APIs but not sure about how that might integrate into VSCode (if it even can).

This may be difficult. The spawn process uses cmd (windows) or bash (linux/macOS) to then launch the emulators (or compilers) which ends up being 2 different processes with 2 different PIDs. I cannot read/get the 2nd one (emulator in this case) via the process I created. Will need to find another way...

On macOS it seems to be just one of the two created processes that actually is there while Stella is running.

6951 ?? S 0:00.76 /usr/local/Cellar/stella/5.1.3/Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella /Users/mats/Documents/2600/dev/joomper/bin/joomper.a.bin

This can easily be killed by a killall Stella on Mac/linux. It was quite a while since I coded anything low-level for Win so I don't know if there's anything similar available there...

Completed for v0.1.7 I've found a library that will search for processes by name so I've added a check before (re)launching Stella.

I'd missed the other request in relation to window location. Looking through the settings it appears you can only force to the centre (-center 1) or fullscreen (-fullscreen) from what I can tell. I would assume it uses whatever OS standard for opening a window is available unless you force those choices via the command line.

I might add these once in the settings there is proper settings ordering in VS Code (i've logged a feature request https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/72485) - a lot of settings already!

Added an option in the settings to override autoclose.
