GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 612034
Please make X button mean "Quit GIMP" when only one file is open
Last modified: 2010-03-07 05:26:39 UTC
In gimp 2.6, pressing the close button in the title bar only closes the current document when exactly one document is open, it does not close the application as expected. Instead it pops up a new so called "empty image window". This is completely inconsistent with all other applications. Originally reported in Ubuntu: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/280384>
But this is exactly as specified. If you want to have this changed, please propose and discuss it on the mailing list (as it should be done with all enhancement requests).
*I* was just forwarding this from the Ubuntu bug tracker, and have no personal stake in the matter. I have forwarded your response to the original reporter. Sorry for not following your procedure - I didn't see this on the "how to report a bug" page. Thanks!
