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
