I just purchased the promo bundle from MacUpdate... excellent deal. No real

$70 the rest of the software is well worth it.

I did just test and three of the nine applications that I got from there
quit when you close the last window ... and Hazel and MenuCalendarClock and
Typinator are not typical windowed programs (they are prefpanes or menu
items).

BannerZest
DVD Remaster

So of the nine, six are windowed... and half of those quit when the last
window is closed.

That does not speak well of consistency in how windows work on a Mac...


I don't think consistency is as important as logic. If there is no
reason for a process to remain active after closing the last window it
can quit. What bugs me is when you can't close the last window without
quitting, even if a process is still running. It's not an OS thing, more
a developer thing.
