More consistent behaviour of the log window when reloading the patch

vvvv gamma feature
1

I have been using logs in Gamma for quite some time. Until now, there has been one major issue that has really bothered me - the logs window keeps closing when I restart or recompile the patch.

Some more consistent behavior could be made. Like the console window for example. So that you can set the window to a certain position and know that the log window will not close after the patch is restarted? Thanks for looking into this.

hm.. wait it sounds like you’re not talking about vvvv’s built in log window, right? because that one would not close when your patch needs a restart.

could it be you’re embedding the log window in your app as shown in the “HowTo Use a LogUI widget/layer” examples?

No, this is vvvv windows with log, mostly happens if you have exception in the patch and when you press restart log window hides, I think the console window also have this behaviour

Launch Gamma.
Open the logging window.
Recompile.
Logging window is closed.
