I would like to suggest changing some of the .bat scripts for Eric on Windows. I am using Eric5, but i think the same applies to Eric4.<br>The problem with the eric5.bat is the following:<br><blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">
While running a command line program or some GUI initiated from command
line on Windows, there is always a black console window on the screen.
This sometime becomes annoying. For example, when you start the Eric
Python IDE on Windows, normally you start it by calling a batch file
“eric4.bat” which calls the actual eric4.py script sequentially. Since
Eric4 is designed to be a GUI program, the black console window has no
use but it is there.<br></blockquote><a href="http://9rivers.linkka.com/2010/07/29/hide-the-command-console-window-while-running-a-guicommand-line-program-on-windows/" target="_blank">http://9rivers.linkka.com/2010/07/29/hide-the-command-console-window-while-running-a-guicommand-line-program-on-windows/</a><br>
<br>I found a way to start eric5.bat without the console window:<br><blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">@echo off<br>rem Start Eric5 with command line parameters<br>
set CURRDIR=%~dp0<br>start "%CURRDIR%\pythonw.exe" "%CURRDIR%\Lib\site-packages\eric5\eric5.pyw" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br></blockquote><div><br>This is not only hiding console window. It also uses relative pathes. So it makes .bat scripts more portable.<br>
