Odd BPP Add Custom window behavior
« on: 2016 January 08 08:17:57 »
When using BPP, press Add Custom to get the the Add Custom Frames dialog.  Command+Tab to switch to another program to check email or something.  Come back to PI and the Add Custom Frames dialog is hidden behind the main BPP window. 

This is an inconvenience at worst.  When you first see it, however, it seems like PI has locked up/crashed. 

Is there a setting to tell PI how to manage these windows differently?

This window behavior on Mac El Capitan with the latest  release of Pixinsight is very strange and irritating.  It can be reproduced by selecting Add Custom in BPP, select the files you want to add, press open and Presto!  The files window is now behind the BPP main window.  Any idea for a fix?

Not reproducible. I cannot reproduce this problem on OS X 10.10.5 and 10.11.2. The Add Custom Frames dialog always stays on top of the Batch Preprocessing script main dialog, as expected, even after switching to other applications and coming back to PixInsight. The same correct behavior can be observed on the rest of platforms.
