Bug or feature - This is the question

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,
The following small macro code will throw in an error
                WinOp = getList("window.titles");
// WinOp = Array.deleteValue(WinOp, "Command Finder");
                for(i = 0; i < WinOp.length; i++)
                {
                        selectWindow(WinOp[i]);
                        run("Close");
                }
unless I uncomment the second line of the code.
This means that I can't apply a "run("Close");" on a "Command Finder" window.
Thus is this restriction done in purpose or rather a bug?
My best regards,
Philippe

The File>Close command, and the close("Command Finder") macro function, do not work with the "Command Finder" window because it is a JFrame, not an ImageWindow, PlugInFrame, PlugInDialog or TextWindow. I do not see an easy fix for this problem.

Dear Wayne,
Thanks a lot for your answer and don't bother I'm solving the issue by just uncommenting the line with the Array.deleteValue.
Take care,
Philippe
