Using the LiveCode IDE, is it possible to keep a stack open after closing the LiveCode menubar? Using the MC IDE, I am used to this behavior and would like to retain it!
The MC IDE is very much an "I know what I'm doing" design, so it allows you to close its menu bar even though that may require any subsequent opening of stacks, or even quitting, be done through the Message Box (assuming you have some way to access the Message Box without going through the IDE menu bar).
The LiveCode IDE attempts the more difficult role of providing a traditional application GUI, even though your application's GUI will sometimes take precedence (fighting over the single menu bar on Mac, for example).
Given the central role of LC's menu bar, they've elected to have the app quit when it's closed.
If it conflicts with your app's layout (such as having your own toolbar) you can hide the LC toolbar instead of closing it.
