Quit from SysTray Not Working?

NigelS · 12-18-2008, 09:51 AM

I have just updated to v115 and when I click the red cross on the app, instead of closing it now minimises to the system tray. I understand that this is due to the need to remain running for the scheduling of recipes. However, since I don't use that feature I always follow-up by right clicking the systray icon and selecting Quit. However this is not working for me - when I do this the icon remains in the tray, and when after leaving it for several minutes, I run Task Manager, the calibre app is still in the applications list with (not responding) in the title-line. I have to "End Now" to kick it out.

Anyone else having this problem?

This is under Win XP SP3 by the way (in a Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine in case this is relevant).

Thanks

It is working fine for me under XP SP3!

If you do not want the minimize to Systray behavior you can switch it off under the Interfaces part of the Configuration dialogs.

You can also use Ctrl+Q to fully quit the app.
