Description catnip 2013-12-31 11:12:20 UTC 
When I close the only open spreadsheet, then Gnumeric itself closes.

I would prefer that Gnumeric remained open since I often intend to open another spreadsheet at that point.

I am either forced to do open my next spreadsheet prior to closing the finished spreadsheet (which I can then close), OR, I have to open a new instance of Gnumeric after it has closed.

It would be nice if a command-line switch would enable the choice of the preferred behavior, but a plugin could do the job.

regards
catnip

This is bug 94091.

The only way this will happen is if someone else writes a patch that
does not get in the way of how the current set of Gnumeric developers
use the program.

See also bug 704672 and the comments about multiple processes.
