Exiting the app doesn't close the keymapperd.exe process

houmain commented 1 year ago

Hi, When keymapper is closed, keymapperd does not do anything but wait for another keymapper to connect and send the new configuration. This is working as intended. I do not think, this is an issue.

I didn't find it to be an issue except for when I tried to install a newer version of keymapper. The setup process couldn't kill the process and I had to kill it manually. It's definitely a nitpick though, so I can close the issue if you see it that way as well.

Or maybe it was some other app that was requiring keymapper to be closed (I can't recall right now). I'm on windows btw.

For me the installer always worked for updating a running installation. The "keymapper.exe and keymapperd.exe still running" dialog appeared twice. After clicking the close process button twice the installer finished as expected. Maybe I can improve that (the installer should already close them automatically). Would be interesting to know, if another application requires both processes to exit. Would be nice if you could post it, if you experience it again.

Sure, will do.
