Leslie Proud MacBabe. Happy everything to everybody. Registered: 05/06/05 Posts: 3603 Loc: B.C. Canada	I hit "quit application" instead of "quit all applications" - pay attention Leslie! Thank you for being so patient.

When you made the app you didn't click Add Current Application did you, and it added Stickies to Do Not Quit? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

It may need to do some bookkeeping before it quits. It can corrupt preferences. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

I tried it a few times and each time it only worked when I clicked on the desktop. Stickies was not the only app that stayed open, it was whatever app was opened last. Strange, but true.

So the script won't run unless you click to the Finder first, then it still leaves one app open? Not sure why it won't quit all. I just tried on another machine and quit all quits all. You're not running any anti-virus, MacKeeper, or any other useless clean my Mac product are you? You're on Mountain Lion? I tried from Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. Well at least it's most of the way there, only one app to quit then. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Leslie Proud MacBabe. Happy everything to everybody. Registered: 05/06/05 Posts: 3603 Loc: B.C. Canada	All apps close as long as I click finder first. In other words, if I have 4 apps open and happen to be working in one, it will not close if I use the script. It is not a big deal for me, just happy to have found a way to close them all.

I thought one app always refused to quit no matter what. Have a good one. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
