François Revol <revol@xxxxxxx> wrote Something about ignoring sub-fields of a B_QUIT_REQUESTED msg. I lost the email.. itchy empty-trash Spicykeys command.. sorry. :P If a flag is used, the user can decide -not- to use the state-keeping of a certain application, (for personal reasons). About the shutdown field you mention, (which I don't know if it exists), I'd prefer native apps to save their state -anytime- they're quit, -including- at shutdown. So if I closed BeMail and re-opened it I could continue typing this email. The apps state could be auto-saved periodically. (All this is already possible. What's holding us back? Lack of interest in finishing apps we create? Do we settle for the bare necessities?) /Jonas Sundstrom. ~ www.kirilla.com ~
