Title: modal dialogs from ufo2map
Post by: blondandy on May 16, 2008, 10:45:28 pm

ufo2map throws up modal dialogs to complain, but only on the windows OS. (Sys_Error in cmdlib.c).

i have found this a bit annoying. when you leave your machine compiling all the maps, one has a problem, then all compiling ceases until you give it some attention.

would anyone object if i made windows do the same as the other OSes and just print to console?

svn praise cites tlh2000. i guess he will not mind.

Really? I never had it pop up a dialog, except when I ran it with no arguments. Is this something very recent? Also, I use the makefile to compile the maps, so maybe that has something to do with it.

should only happen on sys_errors, no?

indeed. but why?

it is annoying if you are trying to compile a whole load of maps using make (or a script).

why only on ms windows?

I'm on Windows. Doesn't happen for me.
