Because we're in the middle of an operation, and quitting would leave files in an incomplete, corrupted state. There is a dialog up with a cancel button; the user can click Cancel to stop the operation in a graceful way.

Questioning my design isn't really an appropriate response here. Please try to be helpful.

I would have to respectfully disagree. Questioning proposed designs are at the heart of a meaningful dialog on mailing lists. In most cases the best initial reply to a question posted on a mailing list is "what are you _really_ trying to do".


How about having a request to quit also implicitly cancel the ongoing operation? You could listen to NSApplicationWillTerminateNotification and cancel in response.
