set the raisewindows to true in Preferences or Dev Menu?

can we have:
set the raisewindows to true
as an option in the preferences
or on the IDE Development Menu

Make a plugin, just tried it, works like a charm.

Set this as its script, place it in your plugins folder, restart livecode. Go into dev menu/ plugins/ plugin settings, choose your new plugin stack, set it to auto start, invisible (or visible or whatever you prefer.) restart livecode once more to check that it worked.

Code: Select all

on preopenstack
   set the raisewindows to true
   --close this stack -- can uncomment this to have the plugin close after raisewindows is set. 
end preopenstack

If the plugin remains open it will show up in the app browser, but I think by closing it (if your preferences are set to destroy stack on close) it won't. Alternatively, I think if you name with rev on the front the app browser will filter it out.

If you DO have things set to destroy stacks on close, if you ever need to work on it again, turn off messages before opening it.

Thansk Sturges,

I have no idea what all that means but will have a look when I have more time.

Thanks heaps for the workaround.

I found a post in the plugins forum from 5.5 years ago.
Stating that a plugin is just another stack placed in the Plugins folder.

I'll try this and see what happens.

Yep, just a normal stack placed in the plugins folder.

Thanks again, dude!

You rock!
