So maybe that's not a big deal. Hmm. I've never used CTRL-Q. I don't know how complicated things are, but if it is doable without doing contortions in the code I would keep the major dialogs completely independent. I wouldn't even mind if you'd spawn each major dialog in its own process. For example, if I look at that 'Changelog' button I'm trying to add to the commit dialog right now, I think clicking that button could be equivalent to launching the dialog from the context menu, that is, it could spawn its own process. If I click the 'Changelog' button in the commit window, I immediately forget that I launched the log viewer from the commit window. So I would be surprised if the log is closed when I do CTRL-Q in the commit window. Imagine, I can have multiple log windows open. Some started from the 'Changelog' button in a commit window (I can actually have multiple commit windows open at the same time. Think of starting them in different repos by using the cmenu). Sure I then can't tell anymore what belongs together. So, unless I have misunderstood something, I think "application groups" aren't helpful. Also, the user has no visual clue what belongs to what. I can launch all major thg windows independently from the cmenu. Every window gets a separate entry in the taskbar. And if I do Ctrl-Q on one of them, I'd expect only that one to quit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
