modal dialogs and Quit problem

[Barry Levine]

Thierry,

The problem seems to be centered in the OSX version of Rev. When I 
create an OSX distribution from WindowsXP (using 2.0.1), the app -can- 
be quit; shutDownRequest is called every time (whether interrupting a 
modal dialog or not).

However, this nonsense of Rev permitting a modal dialog to be 
interrupted is, well, I can't use such a word on this list. There is no 
excuse for this kind of app behavior except that it's a very bad bug 
or, heaven forbid!, a design choice. A modal dialog is either modal in 
it's environment (the app) or it isn't. And -that- is a cross-platform 
problem; the modal dialog can also be interrupted in WinXP. Even there, 
it's a HIG faux pas.

I will have to backup my Mac system, re-initialize the drive, and 
reinstall Rev in order to see if the force-quit problem is a glitch in 
my system or something that's part of the OSX Rev 2.x release.

Regards,
Barry
