[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44485] GUI: File | Exit from main menu doesn't work when Octave is busy

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #44485 (project octave):

Just keep in mind a couple things:

1) Both the GUI|File exit and the command line exit have to do a shutdown
sequence for the GUI.  That is, both routes have to check if there are files
to be saved AND cancel shutdown if the user selects "cancel" during that
file-save check.  Now, if you feel that the user shouldn't be allowed to
cancel after having selected "exit", then the behavior of the file-save dialog
needs to be change under the condition of exiting versus say just closing the
tab in the editor.

2) There was no design of a good comm protocol between GUI and worker, so that
has restricted what can be done in the GUI.  It's a case of working with
limitations at the moment.
