(Sorry IOhannes, missed the list on that one)<br>Currently (at least on Mac OS X) Pd has no qualms about shutting down
without question if the main window is closed, which seems a bit silly
considering the proliferation of confirmation boxes elsewhere. I've
lost quite a bit of work this way, accidentally using command-q (quit)
rather than command-w (close window). I'm also in the questionable
habit of using quit to bring up the save dialogue before quitting,
which is fairly standard behavior in other applications.
<br><br>That's not to mention that OS X usually has an
Application/Window disconnect - in that closing the windows of a
program does not actually quit - so it is especially unexpected on the
Mac.<br><br>Update... I've also confirmed this is the behavior in Windows.
