main: Do not recreate window when present (2.38 KB, patch)

Description Jonas Danielsson 2014-11-19 08:56:27 UTC 
When activating the application we should not recreate the main window if it is already there, instead we should present it.

I ran into this while trying to activate the action show-location from Maps.

main: Do not recreate window when present

On activate and on actions we should not recreate the main window
instead we should present it if it is already created.

The reason gnome-weather creates a new window is intentional: we're not a single window app, in the current design.

Part of it was that gnome-shell would be showing a "New window" menu item anyway (which was fixed), part of it was a deliberate design decision on my part. But let's continue this conversation on the other bug.
