I realized yesterday that a big cause of this is that each time a module is called, a new instance of its dialog opens. So if you use v.buffer but don't close the dialog, and then call v.buffer again GRASS opens a second v.buffer dialog...and a third and a fourth, etc. So there seems to be the need to have the wxPython parser module to just bring the window for a module to the front if it is already open instead of opening another instance. Sounds simple but is probably somewhat complicated of course. But it would help the clutter problem a great deal.<div><br></div><div>Michael<br><div><br></div><div><br><div>
