quitting apps.

2011-07-20 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick 
Hi all,

One feature of Lion that some of you may not be aware of is the fact that the 
state of your applications is maintained when you exit.  So, for example, if 
you go to:

www.mac-access.net

and exit safari with cmd-q, the next time you launch Safari you'll be taken 
back there.  This is similar to the behaviour of Safari on IOS devices.

Now to prevent this, you have two choices.  You can disable this behaviour 
globally in system preferences|General.  Alternatively, you can exit the app 
using CMD-Option-q.

cheers,

Dónal

 So bare that in mind when you are looking at something you should not (and I 
 mean a surprise Christmas gift for your loved one if you filthy minded people 
 were thinking otherwise), they could easily open Safari back up to be 
 presented with the last web page you were on!

Hello Mary:

And that is a good reason in my opinion Apple left the option for the user to 
decide.

 I have been wondering about this quit app feature and what happens if you've 
 had to force quit an app because it was misbehaving in some way. Next time 
 you open that app, you sure don't want it reverting to the state it was in 
 just prior to your having to force quit it.
