Feature Request: Close Window handling
Feature Request: Close Window handling
Currently if you are in the middle of ripping and (on a OSX) you click the close window button, it terminates the application. It would be nice if MakeMKV followed suit with most other Mac applications and closed the window but did not terminate the application. If not, at least pop up a dialog box stating that you are in the middle of a rip and offer to confirm or cancel the close request.

Why would you click 'close' if you dont want it to close and terminate? isnt that why they invented the 'minimize' button?
Re: Feature Request: Close Window handling
On Windows that is true but on OSX, just because a window closes that does not mean you are stopping the application. It just closes the application window. You usually hit command-Q to kill the applications. Since that's normal behavior, i hit the close button by habit, killing the app. I can't be the only Mac user that does this by habit. Am I?
A good example of an app that handles this well is handbrake. You start and encode and you can then close the window and it continues in the background with the encode.
Just a thought. If i'm truly the only one that finds this an issue then there's no need to make it a feature.

Re: Feature Request: Close Window handling
I agree with the original request, the program is currently behaving incorrectly in OS X. One of the following should apply:
1) Closing the window leaves the program active and the window can be reactivated by clicking the program icon in the dock.
2) If the program is active, the red close button should have a black dot in the middle. If you click the button you receive a warning that this will close the program and terminate the current operation.
3) Deactivate the close button (least attractive).
The problem is that Mac users are used to closing windows on active programs in the knowledge that the program will keep running, so it's very easy for us to do this without thinking.
