Yes - get angry and then quit with prejudice. Lock messages, unload 
libraries, close stacks, etc, and really QUIT! :)


Also, consider an alternate approach to launching the second app, so 
that shell doesn't keep your first app hanging

Re: launch & quit

[Robert Brenstein via use-livecode]

I’d guess that quit command triggers some closeXxxx handlers to run 
and one causes the delay. The duration of delay sounds a bit like 
network timeout. Have you tried to switch off messages before quit?

On Windows, the designated application launches promptly and my app

On OSX, the designated application launches promptly and my app waits 
way too long (a minute or two) before quitting.


Standalone built for OSX and Windows on Windows under LC905

Anyone have any experience like this? Any ideas on what to do to get 
the OSX version to quit when told to quit?

Re: launch & quit

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

I’ve used quit before on Mac with no problems, so I tried a few tests and it 
still seems to work fine for me (even with your mismatch variable 
tError/tErrormEssage).

I tried both with and without generating a deliberate error and it quit 
straight away, so I’d guess there may be something else causing the delay.

One thing I did notice was that when testing in the IDE the app being launched 
is brought to the front, but in a standalone the app being launched stayed in 
the background until I changed the quit command to:

   send “quit" to me in 10 ticks

This seems to give the app time to launch and come to the front, but the time 
seems to be be dependant on the size of the app, I tested with another 
standalone, and Apple Preview.

Tested in LC9.0.5 & LC9.5.0 - same results.

Hope you track down the issue.
