Hide the Output Messages window

Hello,

I find it a bit annoying that the "Output Messages" window pops up every time I do something in Paraview. I've dug around in menus and settings and there seems to be no obvious way of disabling it.

I would prefer it to stay closed when I press "close", or at least not have it always on top of the UI. Most of the time, things are working well and I don't need to see the information in this window. I just want to look at my data.

Example of output :

Registered event listener change listener: true
FIXME: handle dialog start.
FIXME: handle dialog end.
FIXME: handle dialog start.
FIXME: handle dialog start.
FIXME: handle dialog end.
QSpiAccessible::accessibleEvent not handled: "6" obj: QMenu(0x3992b50) ""
QSpiAccessible::accessibleEvent not handled: "7" obj: QMenu(0x3992b50) ""

This is already being sent to stdout so it's hardly necessary to have a dedicated always on top pop-up window for it as well (I also wonder a bit why a user would be interested in this stuff in the first place). Granted, not all users run Paraview from the terminal, but still...some options would be nice here.

    I agree, the lack of an option to disable the output window except in case of true errors is hilarious. Dragging it to the incredibly overloaded properties tab is a sort of workaround, but it makes the rather unordered and confusingly composed properties tab even more confusing.

    REQUEST: add option to disable output window fomr popping up (except a true error occurs).

    Two answers.
    1) The goal is to get rid of junk like this. If you see warnings (or FIXME etc.), please create a bug.
    2) The Output window can now be hidden (somewhat). Drag it to the Properties tab, and move it to be the tab under the Information tab.

    Could not agree more, this is annoying behavior.
