For example: a) You call psppire with a .sav file: The main data window is shown b) You call psppire with a .sps file: The Syntax editor is shown c) You call psppire with no parameters: The main data view window is shown Assume you then want to create a new syntax file: The output window does not allow you to do that. You have to switch to the main window and do File->New->Syntax file Assume you want to type in some data: Just click and type. Switching from the output window is a completely useless step. The only reason to see the output window is to see output from a previous analysis. I cannot think of a usecase where the output window should be raised except you do an analysis (as it is today). Modifying the functional behavior of psppire just to show the warning will definitly change user experience between development and non-development versions. I think this is not good. Maybe we just leave it as is with maybe changing the title text to one of the versions cited in one of the previous messages in this thread?
