Hi, there,
On Mac, if I run a command in terminal and start a GUI application, the
new window is always hide behind the current window. So does start apps
from other application like firefox.
But noticed that double click an icon in "Finder" can start it
correctly. So I did some test and found that if I wrap the command into
a fake ".app" folder and use "open -a fake.app", it'll show the new
window in the front. It's not good solution and I'm sure I haven't got
the root reason.
I suppose there is an option in the configuration file of window manager
for MacOS to control this behavior. Am I right? Anyone has any idea on
what that option is and how to change it? I'm going mad with this problem.
Thanks a lot!
Calvin
