Excluded App Still Being Closed #14

Closed MarkLockwood closed 1 year ago

MarkLockwood commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've recently started using SwiftQuit and love it so far, but I've run into an issue when trying to exclude Steam from being automatically closed. I've set it as an excluded app, but SwiftQuit still closes it upon exiting. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix? Thanks.

Digging deeper. I had a similar issue with Discord. I initially had it as an excluded app, and it was handled properly (didn't automatically exit upon closing) but instead would randomly pop back open and refuse to minimize or close, essentially stuck until you exit the program manually. I removed it as an excluded app and it would still remain open after exiting, which is fine, but the issue of it reopening and becoming stuck and not be able to close is still randomly appearing.

This one could be a Discord issue though, so I just thought I'd update this post rather than create a new issue.

Resolved: For anybody having the same issue, it seems Steam doesn't use its standard application under ~/Applications, but rather its Steam.AppBundle located at /Users/"USERNAME"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle. After adding that to the exclusion list the issue is resolved.

I will keep an eye on the Discord bug in the meantime.
