Description
As a scientist, I would like IBEX to warn me if I open multiple scripting consoles, so that I don't inadvertently have two (or more) consoles running scripts.
Acceptance Criteria
- On opening a second scripting console, I am warned that I already have an open console.
- IBEX provides me with a choice:
- Proceed to open a second console.
- Cancel the opening of a second console.
Notes
- This ticket applies to scripting consoles in the GUI. It does not apply to scripting performed in separate command consoles.
- This is a particular problem for users, they often don't realise they have multiple consoles open. There is a risk that they end up running multiple scripts simultaneously.
- Most instruments do not need to have more than one console open at any one time.
- A few instruments do run multiple consoles and could find the warning messages irritating. Ideally, our solution can accommodate both cases. For example:
- There could be a checkbox on the warning dialog saying "Don't show me this warning again." (although this then shuts of the warning for other users).
- There could be a setting (under manager-mode control) which toggles the warning.
- It would also be helpful if the console title could show
- if a script is running
- the name of the running script (if any)
