I would suggest you just badge the icon "Quitting" or the like, similar to what Transmission does. I find Transmission's way of closing down very user-friendly, considering how long-winded it is. Alternatively, you could put up a "Quitting" dialog, like iTunes. And do the work in a background thread so the user can switch to your app and see that it is present but busy, rather than being unable to switch to it at all...? m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
