New download dialog shouldn't take focus

[jastax]

The new download dialog takes focus for every jar that is loaded. Downloading many jars means the users computer is more or less unusable for that time. Could it become one dialog that doesn't take the focus for every new jar?

@hendrikebbers can you take this up

Hi,

I hope you are using OWS 1.2.0 or greater.

I tried downloading many large jars from here.

There is one dialog (see picture) that shows progress of each jar being downloaded. This dialog does not take away focus i.e I can continue working on a word doc while OWS is downloading jars and displaying progress in the dialog.

Hi,

I'm using 1.2.1 on Linux with no parallel downloading.

The file you provided above does work the way you described. Maybe the multiple download dialogs happen on extensions only?

[janakmulani]

Thanks for confirming.

So you have a jnlp with extensions which have additional jars.

I will try to reproduce your issue by creating an extension jnlps.

[janakmulani]

I created jnlp with extensions.

For each ext jnlp and the main jnlp the download progress dialog comes up. However it does not take away focus from other apps such as word or file explorer. It only takes focus away from the OWS consoles (which is OK).

[jastax]

On Linux (in my case Ubuntu) it takes the focus from any app

[jastax]

I pressed x the whole time

[janakmulani]

I tested on Windows.

@sclassen can you please test jnlp with extensions on Linux?

[jastax]

I'm testing 1.3.1 on Windows and am running into the same issue. Focus is taken away

[janakmulani]

Did you use jnlp with extensions?. Download dialog for each extension comes up but for me it is not taking the focus away, I can continue to press 'x' in the word document without interruption.

[jastax]

Yes, focus is taken away when using that JNLP.
Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 1809

[janakmulani]

@jastax So what is different between your set up and mine? I have Windows 10 Pro 10 build 18363. Which JRE is being used in your case? In my case it is Oracle JRE 11.0.9.

[jastax]

It's running either Oracle JDK8 or AdoptOpenJDK 8, but I can only confirm in January

[jastax]

Y:>java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_265"

[janakmulani]

@jastax I tested with AdoptOpenJDK 1.8.0_275 on Windows but I cannot reproduce the issue, i.e. focus is not lost from Word app while OWS is displaying progress dialog for downloading multiple jars in multiple extensions.

[sclassen]

I can reproduce this on Linux. Looks like it is OS dependent

Thanks for confirming.

I also lost focus on Windows, but that might be due to the bug I reported for ITW and you already fixed. I will re-test on Windows after the patch is available.

[jastax]

OWS 1.3.2 Windows, launching the JNLP (https://download-openwebstart.com/download-test-hendrik/manyjars_with_ext.jnlp) -> Focus is still taken away.

[janakmulani]

I tried on my Windows 10 machine. I cannot reproduce the issue => Focus remains with Word while the OWS download progress is shown:

[sclassen]

Yes Janak, this is OS dependent. It is reproducible on Linux. We also need to check it on Mac

On Windows I also lose focus.

First, the splash screen shows for a short time.

After that the downloads start. I'm losing focus for each extension, I think.

Some of the time there is no dialog to see at all (which is the reason why I launched multiple instances (AdoptOpenJDK/IcedTea-Web#744).

I will try to make a screen recording
