Hot reload forces app to become front window

[greatwitenorth]

🐞 bug report

✍️ Description

Given that I have a hot reloadable page loaded in the Responsively App, and the app is not currently the front window, when the page hot reloads, the Responsively app automatically becomes the front window, disrupting my work.

🕵🏼‍♂️ Is this a regression?

Unsure

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

• Load a hot reloadable page in Responsively
• Open your code editing program to the site that's currently loaded
• Make an edit in your code and save
• The Responsively app will automatically become the front window

Happening with me as well. Really annoying behaviour. How can we fix this?

I think this is the code that is causing the issue:

responsively-app/desktop-app/src/main/main.ts

Lines 200 to 209 in e32d1c3

	} else {
	mainWindow.showInactive();
	if (!windowShownOnOpen) {
	windowShownOnOpen = true;
	mainWindow.show();
	} else {
	mainWindow.showInactive();
	}
	}
	});

Same issue on macOS Sonoma

Same here, I agree with @preeteshjain that it's a very annoying behaviour. I'm using VSCode with Live Server. Every time I change code Responsively App get focus an open again. There should be a way to remove this behaviour in the Settings.

Same issue with MacOS Sonoma 14.5, default production download from https://responsively.app (v1.12.0, Apple Silicon) and VS Code v1.91.1 with Auto Save /afterdelay enabled.

hi there, I have opened a PR to fix this. The problem was the app kept being "ready" whenever hot reloading was triggered, making it initiate again and again, and bringing it to the front. I have fixed it
