Hey Folks,
On OSX 10.11.1.
The Activity window now comes up in front instead of in the background.
I was wanting to discover if it was in fact index 1 and send it to back if it was.
Regular AppleScript doesn't see it at all.
tell application "Mail" activate delay 0.05 set winF to name of front window set win0 to name of window 0 set win1 to name of window 1 end tell
Interestingly the above values are all the same – and don't see the A.W.
The zero index also works in System Events.
System Events sees the A.W. as the front window no matter whether it has focus or not.
tell application "System Events" tell application process "Mail" set frontmost to true name of front window end tell end tell
Certain Keyboard Maestro macros I have for manipulating the UI don't work properly with the changes, and I'll have to try to work around them. This is a bother but not a big deal.
However.
I'm very disappointed the Activity window has been dumbed-down even if the display is a little more stylish.
You can no longer see connection progress for individual accounts; they're now all lumped together.
Nor does it show progress when mailboxes are being rebuilt.
On my system a rebuilt mailbox's messages VANISH as though they've been deleted!
You have to manually move off the mailbox and back on to get it to refresh.
