Windows Standalone strands windows tasks

[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks I'll give that a try. I think I am already quitting the splash stack, because my MacOS works properly, but the second part I never knew about. Unfortunately my Apple laptop is in the shop so I won't be able to test until Monday.

On MacOS when I "quit" the entire application quits. On Windows however the splash stack (which is the stack the standalone is built from) keeps running, and if I re-launch the standalone it creates a second instance of the app in memory.

add this to the script your mainstack:
-------------------------
on closestack
  close stack "your splash stack here"
  ## do more closestack stuff
end closestack
-------------------------
That should do the trick.

Hint:
To avoid this "Windows feature:
>> if I re-launch the standalone it creates a second instance of the app in memory.
add a dummy handler to your standalone/splash stack script:
-------------------------
on relaunch
   ## NADA!
end relaunch
-------------------------
