Modeless dialogs in scripts

[Forum_2018]

Is it possibe to use? If not, any possibility to implement?

It's not possible, but in Scripts 6.2 you could enlarge the Output panel to display all the rows you need for feedback.
If you post more details about your research maybe I could give a better solution.

OK. I'm hoping to write a script that needs to only be run once at the start of the session and it presents a menu of options like so

But it shouldn't get in the way (the menu recenters itself) nor prevent the normal use of AA. I hope you get what I'm trying to achieve. Automation with as little keyboard input as possible, but allowing high flexibility in tasks. Checkbox input is also on my wishlist, eg. for selecting filters.

OK, I understand. At the moment it's not possible.
Actually this task is already done by other AA users, creating their own dialog window (a simple application) for maximum flexibility. Such applications simple present buttons and options and then write a small text file when something is clicked. The Astroart scripts polls the text file and execute commands.

A simple example of the poll code is inside the second message here: (you don't need the shared folder)

If instead it's sufficient to quickly execute different scripts, consider the "Library" menu in Scripts, writing one script for each task.

Thank you, Fabio. I'll look into the other solution.
