Mac - Issue in app quit

[siddhartha-gupta]

Hi,

I'm facing an issue in quitting Mac application, with following setup and steps

• nw v0.12.3, with mac menu bar enabled with all options(edit, window etc)
• Using grunt node webkit builder to package the app
• Launch the app
• minimize the app to doc
• App menu is still visible and accessible
• Try to quit the app by pressing 'cmd+q' or bu clicking 'quit' from menu
• App is still running and in fact 'close' event is also not fired

Followed the steps mentioned in following issue but issue still persist - #430

If you did, please comment on how the resolution/workaround didn't work for you. If you didn't see it, then I recommend searching the issues before creating a new issue.

If it is the same or very similar issue please consider closing this one.

After binding the 'shortcut' key as mentioned in #3162 I was able to receive the quit event on app minimize, but the event is propagated to nw application even when keys are pressed for some other application. Basically, I want to receive the quit event when 'cmd+q' is pressed for nw app only, and not for other apps. Is there a way to distinguish this?

Hi,

Can someone kindly provide an update/solution for the same :)

I also see the same issue. It doesn't appear that #430 works any more in v12. Not sure if something changed. Doing CMD-TAB and CMD-Q on the icon works, but CMD-Q when in the dock doesn't work. Also clicking quit in the menu when in the dock doesn't work.

I put a console log in the win.on("close" ...) and see it when not in the dock just fine. Never see it when in dock except when CMD-TABing.

Yup, it seems close event is not propagated to app in case app is not in focus.

Any update?

Just a gentle bump!

Just tested this in v0.15.2, and it's still an issue. Would love to see a fix for this!

I can reproduce this issue on Mac with nwjs-sdk-v0.25.0.
