MessageBoxLockScreen

This came up in the Mac OS area.

In HC, locking the screen did not lock the message box. In other words, with:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
     set lockscreen to true
      repeat with a = 1 to 100
       put a
      wait 1
      end repeat
end mouseUp

One could watch the counting in msg. In LC, however consistently it now reads, one cannot. This was a very useful feature when tracking things in a running script, especially in loops. You did not see, or waste the time, in navigating to other cards, say, but could still monitor the state of certain processes.

How about a "meesageBoxLockScreen" property?

As the person who brought it up, I second this request.
I like to see the progress of a process - particularly one which involves either a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between a large number of cards, or the creation of a lot of new cards.
The ability of HC's message box to report on progress was a boon which I didn't appreciate until LC showed its lack.
