I looked at the Gnome session manager docs which say (in bold) __applications should not assume they can block logout or shutdown__. Qt says something similar. So no, its not guaranteed that they will have any time available. Essentially session management (especially at shutdown, but also logout) seems to be impossible since the session manager can also be overruled by the shutdown process. Really the only way of saving stuff is to keep everything saved as we go, and hope that its never killed half way through the save :( Users can use the save actions plugin to save files, all we need to add is project and user sessions, maybe save actions could be extended to periodically save them too? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
