Hi,

I have been using Swift Quit for closing apps and I found a number of bugs, hoping you can look into this:

  1. It closes Finder. I think Finder should be excluded as it is a system process?
  2. It also closes Spotlight after a search. This should be excluded - This may have been fixed now.
  3. It closes a few of the menubar apps when user interact with the menubar items eg. Dato which should be left opened. I have currently excluded this.
  4. It also causes issues with Microsoft Office Suite e.g. Excel. When I launch the app, Excel will present with a home screen asking user to either open existing files or create a new file. Selecting any item on the list will cause Excel to close. Same for Word and Powerpoint.
  5. TextEdit. Click View > Show All tabs. Click on existing document and the app will close or Create new documents when TextEdit first starts.

I think all of the above are apps closing when users didn’t click the Red Cross but when Swift Quit seems to close it when the app closes its last window. I hope you can look into this.

FYI: I have been trying to reach you by email but your email keep bouncing. Hope this works.

Another bug / behavior I noticed whit 2 windows of the same app: when a window is minimized and I closed another one, swiftquit thinks the maximized one is the last one and quits the app.

  1. Finder and Spotlight have been included in the exclusions list by default now.
  2. Have not looked into menubar apps yet.
  3. I can not replicate the issues with Microsoft apps, but hopefully the 2 second delay and additional check for open windows submitted by @incanus have solved that issue.
  4. The issue with text edit is strange, I'll look into it.
