Description Pablo Rodríguez 2005-05-24 10:37:56 UTC 
Since I had started using evince, I wondered why it doesn't have a Quit command
menu item implemented. As far as I understand, this will improve usability a
lot, since Close is related to the document and Quit is related to the program
itself.

I don't know whether this is already contained in the HIG 2.0, but I think it is
essential to improve usability in evince.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-05-24 11:09:36 UTC 
Currently it would not be possible to implement this because there are multiple
evince processes. We plan to use a common shell for all windows for other
reasons though.

Personally I dont like Quit button but it could be just me... ccing Bryan for UI
input about this.

Comment 3 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2005-05-24 21:10:27 UTC 
I also don't like this kind of UI. User thinks about every window as a document.
Why should we expose the idea of application? I don't think that it would be
usability improvement.
Comment 4 Bryan W Clark 2005-06-14 15:09:22 UTC 
If we had the D-BUS style Server and Interface system running then maybe the
Quit button would make sense.  It would be more like the Mac system and you'd
have no other way to manually quit the server application.  However for now
there's no need for a quit interface.
