00360: add switch to force display context or load selection dialog

« 00359 | Issues | 00361 »

Summary: add switch to force display context or load selection dialog

Created: 2011–05–18 10:37

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.2

Released_In: 2.3

Description:

now that the edge run scripts default the display context, some users are depending on the dialog that allows them to select which load to run and which display to use.

this is a request for an extra switch (or maybe multiple switches for load, display, etc.) which, when supplied will still prompt the user for the load and display context selection, even if the -display or -load arguments are present on the command line.

In the case where only one load or only one display is defined, the dialog should not pop up.

In the case where the -display or -load argument is given and there exists multiple options to choose from, and the new switch is not present, then the old behavior should be continued, with no dialog appearing.

In the case where the -display or -load argument is given and there exists multiple options to choose from, and the new switch _IS_ present, then the dialog should appear with the commanded load or display already pre-selected as the default in the list box.
