quit

[Thierry Arbellot]

Hi Yves,

I have tested the shutdownRequest handler and it does work fine.
Thanks Jeanne.

This is little bit more tricky.
Actually, when Rev builds the standalone, it defines the development 
region as to be English.
This property setup the system menus to be in English, like Quit but 
also all items in the Apple menu and the Help menu title.
To change them to be in French, you have to do the following (I just 
tested it on my Mac):
- launch the Property List Editor app - it's provided with the 
development tools from Apple
- open the file Info.plist located in your app package contents
- click on the triangle in front of root to list all properties
- the first property is CFBundleDevelopmentRegion, Class String, Value 
English
- double click on English to make it editable, and replace it with 
French
- save and close
- launch your standalone to see the result

Good luck
