Updater: The start of the update process will always prompt you to close the IDE, even though the IDE has just closed itself #8195

Open scott-dunbar opened 3 days ago

scott-dunbar commented 3 days ago

Description

After the prompt in IDE to close and update you are always presented with a prompt to close all GameMaker applicaitons and press OK to continue Image

This should not be shown as the IDE has just closed itself.

It feels like there is a process still open from the recently closed IDE still hanging about for a moment longer than expected.

Obviously a user could have multiple IDE instances open or have reopened the IDE quickly between it closing and the updater starting, and so the warning would be valid.

im not seeing this on windows 11 and ide 658>659, maybe there is something hanging around on your system?

There is code to check to see if the IDE is still open (as we cannot update until it is closed) - this is intentional.

It all depends on your system how long the process hangs around after the windows is closed.
