"Stubborn" WriteRoom at quitting?

Posted June 3, 2008 by Andreas Suchert in shutdown quit writeroom cancel save exit

Hello,

I found it quite stubborn when I want to quit WriteRoom. It always ask to save any document (even if its a blank one - I use it exclusively in fullscreen) before quitting. Its frustrating too when I program my mac to shutdown at a given time and WriteRoom cancels the shutdown.

Is there any way to "de-arm" this thing? Its a super great software and I use it every day, so this makes it a little bit cumbersome.

Thanks for any help!!

all the best,

Andreas.

I don't think WriteRoom is doing anything special here, it should be working just like TextEdit or any other document based app. If you just open WriteRoom, create a new document, and then quit, it shouldn't ask you to save. But if you make changes to the document, even if you later delete them, then it will ask you if you want to save your changes. I think that's the way that it should work.
