Outputbox: Cannot see the output immediately

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I currently maintain winefish [ http://winefish.berlios.de/ ]

>From winefish, some external tools (latex, pdflatex,...) will be excuted.
The output of theses tools are expected to be appear line-by-line in the 
outputbox (GUI).

But when a tool is called, Winefish is suspend until the tool finishes, then 
the lines of output appear (all at once, NOT line by line as desire).

I tried but didn't understand what the reason is.

Please read the code below and give me some advice.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
