2. If this is indeed a documentation bug and what I see in my tests is

launched with "-ui" or not?

Have you tried "if there is a window <mainstack> then..." ?

Thanks for the idea -

I had no success trying either that or "if the windows is empty", but I did find something useful which may be promising:

Apparently, the windowID of the mainstack is 1 when launched with -ui, and 0 when launched normally.

On OS X and Linux this works great: I simply check the windowID, and if it's 1 then I finish what I'm doing and quit when run with -ui.

On Windows XP, however, I run into an odd issue: I can find a way to have the app quit itself after launching with -ui without generating an OS error.

Anyone here have experience using faceless standalones on Windows that might help solve that?



BTW: My report bug was unnecessary - seems Mark Wieder had reported this issue some time ago:
