Showing all windows

[Michael Reade]

What's the best way for me to UNHIDE all windows?

Thanks,

There does not seem to be a "Show All Windows" script step. The only step that works on all visible windows at once is the Arrange All Windows step. But its Arrange All Windows [ Bring all to the front ] only affects visible windows. I can't really see what use it is.

What will make a hidden window visible is to Select Window []. If you looped thru the windows, selecting each by name, you would make them all visible. The below is just working with the current file. Remove the Get (FileName), and the "Current file" option to do all windows of all open files.

Freeze Window

Set Variable [ $win_name_orig; Value:Get ( WindowName) ]

Set Variable [ $win_names; Value:WindowNames ( Get (FileName)) ]

Set Variable [ $win_count; Value:ValueCount ( $win_names ) ]

Set Variable [ $win_num; Value:1 ]

Loop

  Set Variable [ $win_name; Value:GetValue ( $win_names; $win_num ) ]

  Select Window [ Name: $win_name; Current file ]

  Set Variable [ $win_num; Value:$win_num + 1 ]

  Exit Loop If [ $win_num > $win_count ]

End Loop

Select Window [ Name: $win_name_orig; Current file ]
