System request windows on OS4

[Matt_H]

Hi gang,

Something that's been bugging me for a while about my OS4 system is that most system request and ASL windows almost always open themselves on the Workbench screen. Is there a setting that I'm missing that would allow/force them to open on the current frontmost screen? It gets annoying flipping between screens to deal with these things all the time.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Unfortunately, that's a problem that is caused by the specific programs. If a program wants system requesters to open on their own screen, they need to specifically direct them there, otherwise they open on the Workbench.

I don't know of a utility that can redirect them to another screen but it would be a risky venture seeing as programs could open/close screens at any time and also would not be expecting system requesters to open there.

P.S. That's an AmigaOS issue that occurred from the beginning, not just OS4.

Hmmm. I'd have to check again, but with the exact same programs I don't think the issue occurs on my OS3 or MorphOS systems. Might this be due to differences in asl.library (or other libraries) between the systems?
