Hiya,
Is the openpanel popup window for choosing files default behaviour to appear back from the window you are running your patch? Seems tha this don't make too much sense and the worse is that some people get stuck when the window is invisible if the patch is with window maximized. I have seem this several times...
Strange that in ubuntu-gnome with compiz working the default behaviour is not that because the window is poping up in front of all patches. That's the more desirable, but seems that's it is dependent of desktop configs?
Is there anyway to assure the openpanel window will popup in front of the running patch window?
yes, I did this by modifying the source code of pd.tk, just adding the -parent option to the tk_getOpenFile command. The proc "pdtk_openpanel" modified look like this:
proc pdtk_openpanel {target localdir} {
global pd_opendir
if {$localdir == ""} {
set localdir $pd_opendir
}
##discover the patch window in front of you
set last_patch_window [lindex [split [wm stackorder .] " "] end]
##tell tcl to make the opened panel to be cild of the patch in front of you
set filename [tk_getOpenFile -parent $last_patch_window -initialdir
$localdir]
if {$filename != ""} {
set directory [string range $filename 0
[expr [string last / $filename ] - 1]]
set pd_opendir $directory
pd [concat $target callback [pdtk_enquote $filename] \;]
}
}
tested only on linux
