Feature Request: Get rid of that modal crud in Claudia

Post by Max Littlemore »

Not sure where feature requests go, so here goes...

Problem with Claudia:
When I go to "Application > Add New...", Claudia opens a modal dialog allowing me to to start new applications. Anything I choose (double click) here will be opened but I can't change the wiring graph or kill an app or do anything else in Claudia until I close the dialog....

So do I press "OK" or "Close" to rewire my graph, knowing full well I want to add more stuff? I'll press "OK" because I'm okay with that particular window closing, but no, it adds another instance of whatever I last selected (maybe just to read info) and now I have to open the "Add" dialog again....
*rage quit*

Solution for Claudia:
Please make the "Add New Application" window a window in its own right (not modal). Also, get rid of the "Close" button and store the last added application as $a. If the close button is pressed and $a != current_app, add current_app and close, otherwise just close (unless $a is null or not an app).
This would make the workflow so much easier....

Version: whatever is current for X/K/ubuntu 12.04LTS
