While it quietly shuts down Rosegarden, it still leaves the dot file claiming another copy of your project is running, next time you start. When Rosegarden shuts itself down, this file is removed, but not when told to shutdown externally. Can this be made to happen? My project is particularly targeting people unfamiliar with Linux, who would have no idea what to do under these circumstances. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
