@mikael Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks @mikael

Much appreciated your tip. I will try this. :-)

(Very strange though that I didn't not get any email notification about your reply... Does this forum not send emails out???)

When I put a UI element via @ui.in_background in the background, how can I react to the result in my normal (foreground) flow?

Say I have dialogs.list_dialog and I want to do something with the result of the list in my main function. Can I somehow wait for the result ?

Hi there

I have posted topics in the Pythonista subforum, but I do not seem to get email notifications when somebody replies.

How can I switch email notifications on? I have checekd on the Settings page "Send an email when replies are made to topics I am subscribed to", however this doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks @cvp!

So can I decorate my whole main() of the share extension (which includes the ans = dialogs.list_dialog call) with @ui.in_background?

I'm using the dialogs module for a share extension. When the extension runs it calls the line

ans = dialogs.list_dialog("Go to another app?", [k for k in apps_list])

to show a choice dialog. This did work for a while, but now I get the following error:

line 417, in list_dialog
    c.view.present('sheet') 
ValueError: View is already being presented or animation is in progress 

Why's that and how can I avoid this?

ps: I remember I experimented with appex.finish() (to close the share sheet before the dialog is displayed), but this did not work as I hoped for. So I have eliminated all calls to appex.finish(), but now I get above error.
