Editor does not close with solution is closed #7

Editor does not close with solution is closed. It remains open.

tom-englert commented 7 years ago

Yes, this is intended. It shows information about all open projects. If no project is open, it just shows an empty list.

User experience says that this is unexpected. When the project for which files is closed then the document window, in this case editor, should also close.

tom-englert commented 7 years ago

Yes, but this is neither a document window nor an editor window. It's a tool window like Output or Error List, they also don't disappear when you close the solution, only the respective content disappears. I think your expectation is a modal dialog rather than a tool window, however I found a tool window more convenient.

No, the classic "editor" is the textual one. But it's still a document window at its heart.

That said, I'll take it under consideration deciding how/whether to use WiX for my installer needs.
