#370 Basic GUI problems mac os x 10.4
1. Hiding - Whenever I hide the app, it hangs, cannot bring it back by
clicking on the lemon icon in my dock. When you do, it becomes
available in the menu but the window does not come back up. If I try
to select something from the Help menu (only menu showing) it
crashes. Problem present in 3 machines i tried it on - 10.4 all.
2. Cannot open about box under iPodder menu only under
Help:About. When i click on the one in the iPodder menu... nothing
happens, the menu iPodder stays selected but nothing happens.
Same for preferences, as you have to open the File:preferences one
not the iPodder preferences. This is more a standards compliance
problem than anything - 10.4.
Thanks.

all the above prblms exist also on 10.3
1. what you did was *closing the window* not hiding .. hiding would be
either minimize or hide the application (command-h)
.. closing the window *shouldnt* be allowed for that matter as it quits the
interface and only leaves the hull (or the quit appliction handler should be
linked to it).. a minor inconveniance and related to
the programming framework wxwindows
.. in reference - similar to the behaviour of firefox on osx exept that they ?
use(d) an invisible window to spawn a new one if the last visible was
closed and is related to the menubar/instance handling on osx
2. minor glitch about position of about it is under help>about
infact both prblms are just a disable/relink away of the expected behaviour

CORRECT! I apologize for my mistake... Thanks for clarifying.

Regarding the close/hide situation, clicking the red "x" on
the window also results in a close operation. It may be
possible to disable that, but in any case I've remapped the
close operation to hide, and tweaked the menus to display
"Hide window" or "Show window" depending on context. These
changes will be available in the next release.
