On macOS, i have a standalone made from the user perspective only of a jit.world window. The patcher that hosts it is hidden.

Does it exist a way to tell the jit.world window to stay on desktop top even shifting between other application?

-topmost 1 works only for the patcher itself (hidden in my case)

-floating 1 is only associated of patcher status, and if it's hidden, then jit.world doesn't seem to be affected by floating 1, and anyways shifting application will hide the jit.world. It only says in the patcher context to jit.world to remain on top.

Does it ex

jit-world-always-on-top

a solution would be using jit.pworld instead of jit.world, so you can use topmost 1 or floating 1 to keep the patcher window on top.

yes haha, i was about to write, "without using jit.pworld"

But „floating 1” and jit.world should work.

if floating 1 enabled then, switching apps will hide the window, so I think you have to have floating 0 and make use of the "front" message to jit.window (not sure if world exposes that directly, if not use sendwindow )

Oh, I forgot about that. Sorry for fake solution.

And yes, you have to use sendwindow to send front message to jit.world, however this doesn't work if you, for example, open a window from different program over Max (at least this doesn't work with Max 8.2 and Monterey).

So maybe you have to give a "focus" to Max first (there was some tricks to do that, for example with shell objects) and then send "sendwindow front" message to jit.world - you may repeat this action every few seconds - not very elegant solution, but should work.

Thx, for your advice about shell, but i dont want to implement such process, it's too erratic.

I will try sendwindow message, which i didnt know. Thx @rob !

@yaniki
yes i know how works floating window.
