Subject: bug#18133: Suppressing asynchronous command output
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 19:47:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOnWdohRTM5OQeEKTFKNchiLgmp5c+mF4GSZZfqMJc54Qs1nUQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

When using an asychronous command, e.g. & from dired-mode, it would be nice
if it didn't pop up the buffer until output was received. Often, no output
is received, for example, when using an asynchronous command to start an
external viewer (here, it makes sense to start it asynchronously, as the
user doesn't want Emacs to block until the viewer exits).

This thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gnu.emacs.help/xrs6ny67c_4
discusses the issue, and gives some workarounds and partial solutions; but
would there be any disadvantage to changing the behavior to pop up the
buffer when input arrives, and otherwise not do so?
