Disable screen updating in JSL

[shampton82]

Could you please look at adding in support for a screen updating option in JSL so that at the start of a script screen updating can be turned off and then it can be turned back on at the end of the script.  This will remove a bunch of windows appearing and then disappearing as the script runs.

I know there is the option to bring in tables as invisible as well as hide windows but this would be a simpler solution for the user.

Thanks

Hi @shampton82, thank you for your suggestion! We have captured your request and will take it under consideration.

@shampton82 thank you for your input.  Using the Private or Invisible options for each generated report or data table is the best approach.  To make preference or setting that enables this for all or most windows would require significant retooling for how displays are rendered when using JSL, and at this time it is not something we will pursue adding to JMP.

Thanks for the update Sam!  I understand that the pain is not worth the benefit so hopefully it can make it into a future major rewrite of JMP if it ever happens.  Invisible and private work well but don't cover all use cases.
