I've heard many people say that use of
applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed should be limited, as
users on the Mac OS do not generally expect their applications to quit
when the last window is closed. I do have a question, though: what do
people usually do, then? One can disable the close button, for
example, but is that against the HIG, too? Is it standard to hook up
the "New" File menu item in a non-document-based application to display
the main window? Or should we instead make a permanent window item in
the Windows menu, a la iTunes? (All of this would be, of course, to
avoid the user closing the main window and being unable to reopen it
without quitting and relaunching the program.)
Take care,
Andrew Merenbach
