What is puzzling is what is returned as list of windows whose visible is false. The name which I put in bold is the minimized one. The others are in fact those which were opened today but are now closed. The ones whose name ends with .scpt were saved so they appear in the menu item "Open Recents"
I'm wondering why the editor keep the properties of windows which are now closed. I wrote « properties » because the properties of these windows are really available :
Designed feature or funny bug ?
I underlined the properties of a window which is also puzzling me. I didn't open the Event Log window as a separate one. I just display the log at the bottom of the script window. Why is it reported here ?
I can’t think of a functional use for that information, so I’m guessing it’s a funny bug. The AS Editor is not releasing window objects the way it should when windows get closed.
with regard to the Event Log window, I suspect the AS Editor is creating the window in the background at launch time and writing events to it as it they happen. There’s no real reason to delay the window’s creation and doing so might create a rendering bottleneck, so... |
