Description (last modified by Anders Markvardsen) (diff)
Discuss options for keeping an algorithm dialog box alive following execution of the algorithm.
The use case for this is increased convenience for users, in particular for users not experts in python. This discussion applies for algorithms that outputs a plot and where the algorithm has parameters that the users would like to fiddle with to get the best result.
Currently a user would do the following steps
1) Open the algorithm
2) Change parameter values
3) look at the plot generated
repeat sequence 1-3 until user is satisfied.
The discussion for this task is to discuss changes so that a user only do 1) once (i.e. open the algorithm once)

Discussed with Nick and Martyn. Attached picture contains a way, from a user's perspective, in which dialog could be kept alive alive after pressing the run button.
However the current default modal behavior of a dialog has a number of advantages including dealing with property with change, script wait etc.
Hence for now the recommendation is that the dialog of specific algorithm can be changed away from being modal using custom dialog implementation but the default modal behavior will stay.
Speaking to James Lord he is happy with this
