Opens additional frames when calling `org-capture`

[zilti]

Hello there! I'm on Emacs 30.1. I noticed that, when calling org-capture, an additional frame gets opened, but the original frame splits into two windows to show the capture buffer there. (I tried org-roam-capture as well, which even opens two additional frames).

Maybe something on here will help:

(defun stag-misanthropic-capture (&rest r)
  (delete-other-windows))

(advice-add  #'org-capture-place-template :after 'stag-misanthropic-capture)

and
emacsclient -e '(org-capture nil "t")' --create-frame

seem to work well for me.

mm, I ended up finding the only frames mode to get in the way with similar issues and finding hacks to solve things. Instead I stopped using only frames mode and instead use this recipe assigned to an accessible keybind:

(defun my-turn-current-window-into-frame ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((buffer (current-buffer)))
    (unless (one-window-p)
      (delete-window))
    (display-buffer-pop-up-frame buffer nil)))

another useful function is make-frame, i'm still getting grips on things, did you find a solution that works for your setup?
