App isn't fully terminated when window is closed and thus still creates reminder popups #6

Open teecrow opened 4 years ago

teecrow commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Electron or with the app itself, but in Windows 10, closing the app (with Alt+F4 or the Red 'X') doesn't actually exit the process. This sometimes creates problems when the app can still create popups (from calendar reminders) despite not being visible anywhere (taskbar, system tray, etc.).

As a workaround, I have been using Task Manager to fully close it. Running app version 1.7.1, downloaded the .exe file from the 'Releases' page on Github. Windows 10 version 1909 18363.752. Is there anything I'm missing, or is there perhaps a way to create an option to fully terminate the process upon exiting the app window?

(This is my first time posting an issue on Github - sorry if this might better be classified as a feature request or otherwise! And thanks for your continued development; I've really enjoyed Pulse SMS and was happy to find this app as an alternative to a browser tab.)

This app is set up the same way as Pulse. If you close it, it continues to run in the background so that it can be re-opened. Sorry, I do not have any other workarounds for this at the moment

Is it possible to have it as a tray icon so we know if it's running? Or any indication?

klinker24 commented 3 years ago

You could add that if you wanted to. Working with the tray isn't difficult with electron. I use this on MacOS though and have no need for the tray icon, myself.
