Application quit on OS X

It seems that when you close the main stack window in an LC standalone application on OS X, the application terminates. That doesn't seem like normal behavior for an OS X application, at least not the ones I'm familiar with. Maybe there's no right or wrong on this and it's a function of the appli

I'm getting reports from a beta tester that a Mac app that is deployed on a USB stick is becoming corrupted after being run under 10.7 (runs fine on 10.6) - apparently the problem has been replicated a number of time. I don't have`10.7 installed to test this out myself. Any ideas on what might b
