GIMP does not handle Logoff, Reboot and Shutdown events
Submitted by Max Mustermann
Link to original bug (#687044)
Description
How to reproduce:
Use case 1:
- Create a new file.
- Edit this file.
- In the operating systems main menu select Logoff, Reboot or Shutdown.
Use case 2:
- Open an existing file.
- Edit this file.
- In the operating systems main menu select Logoff, Reboot or Shutdown.
Expected result:
- GIMP interrupts the Logoff, Reboot or Shutdown process.
- GIMP asks the user to save the unsaved files.
- After the files are saved and GIMP quits, the Logoff, Reboot or Shutdown process is continued.
Actual result:
On Linux (Gnome 2.30):
A message window shortly pops up, telling that GIMP doesn't support saving the settings. GIMP is shut down without confirmation. All opened files get lost. There are no differences between Single and Multi Window Mode.
On Linux (KDE 4.8):
GIMP is shut down without confirmation. All opened files get lost. There are no differences between Single and Multi Window Mode.
On Windows 7, 32 bit:
A message window shortly pops up, but cannot be read, as it is closed too fastly before it can show its message. GIMP is shut down without confirmation. All opened files get lost. There are no differences between Single and Multi Window Mode.
On Mac OS X 10.6.8:
In Single Window Mode: Only if the GIMP window is not minimized it's brought into the foreground.
In Multi Window Mode: Only if the GIMP window is not minimized it's brought into the foreground. Otherwise only the GIMP menubar and either the toolbox or the dock windows show up, but not the main window and the other floating window (dock windows or toolbar).
GIMP stops the Logoff, Reboot or Shutdown process, but doesn't tell the user to save all dirty files. After a short period of time OS X tells 'You haven't been logged out because the application GIMP failed to quit. To try logging out again, quit GIMP and choose Apple menu > Log Out'.
It happens always.
