... I am trying to quit (usually big) apps in the Dock and they only offer me the option to "Force Quit" because the application is not responding (probably because it's out of memory - which is generally a good thing).
Is there some way that I can tell the app to quit (rather than forcing it to quit, which I believe may have some negative consequences if its state is not saved) without having to make it active? Some apps are worse at this than others. NetNewsWire seems particularly poor, taking a long time to become active again (probably because I have a large number of subscriptions with posts). Other apps aren't too bad. MS Office apps usually change in a few seconds to offer the "Quit" option (rather than "Force Quit") *after* I have displayed the Dock menu once and waited. Is this just a result of poor app design or is there something Apple could do? I wouldn't even really mind if they faked a "Quit" option (as well as FQ) when the app was inactive, i.e. it tried to make the app active and then quit. Nothing to protest too much about but just something that annoys me regualrly.
