Ventana software support forum

Hide, under the Vensim application menu, isn't implement. It says, "Sorry, not implemented yet." It should be implement because this is standard functionality on macOS and people manage windows this way (and with cmd-H).

Not seeing this in v8beta.

cmd-H brings up the dialog box "Sorry not implement yet" in Vensim DSS v8 beta 6.

It's not cmd-H, it's just H. Same with B for toggling behavior.

Sorry -- talking about hiding the entire application, like Safari -> Hide Safari (cmd-H). This is a system wide standard behavior that all mac apps should implement. Part of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

The Mac version is a port of the Windows code, so we are not following any Apple guidelines.

I'll add it as a future capability as long as it does not interfere with the Windows build.

Any update on this? It seems odd not to be able to implement this.

No, no update yet. As mentioned earlier, it's a port of the Windows code, we are not following any Apple guidelines.

You might not be trying to follow official guidelines like a good macOS app, but it should be easy to capture a keystroke and call the correct command. It can be platform specific code that is #ifdef'd if needed. Doable if you want to spend the time.

We're working on the windowing environment in the new graphics implementation, so we'll probably solve this there.
