Are you saying locking messages before quitting prevents the Save dialog from
presenting? I didn’t know that.

Jim,
Great idea! There are s many ways to do things in LC.

I also use "close this stack" from the message box.

That only happens in the IDE, you can lock messages before quitting. Or, what
I usually do from the message box: delete this stack. (Or you can use the menu
option to remove from memory.) Then a regular quit doesn't ask.

Got your logger stack. I’m in a huge crunch right now, so I need to just go

My perennial question is, how do I quit without saving the stack or even
asking? There ought to be a “close without saving” variation.

I tried doing “Lock messages” before the quit, and closing unused stacks, but
it didn’t seem to make any difference. Apparently the toolbar menu quit command
does some kind of cleanup before it actually quits.

I suggested doMenu because Bill said selecting Quit from the menu worked while
a button with ‘quit’ didn’t.
But he reports that doesn’t work for him either, so perhaps doMenu doesn’t
really 'do menu' under the hood.
If the Quit accelerator key combination also works (command-Q on Mac) then I’d

I tried closing the browser window (on the card where I had the quit button)
and it still crashes.
BUT, I did a test stack, made a standalone, and the quit button works. Hm.
Wonder what it could be. My application stack is pretty big and complex, but
….. I don’t think any handlers are
A bare bones test seems not to crash. Look for any handlers you have that are
still doing something at the time you quit.
BTW, I was testing the idea with v7.01 rc3.

I did try that and it crashed the app too. That’s why I tried to delay the quit
until it got through doing the mouseDown handler.
