As we know, Command+Q will quit a program, not Command+W.
Anyone else have this bug?
I’m on the latest versions of Monterey, PL on 2021 MacBookPro M1Pro.
Cannot test right now, but I remember having had this effect a few years ago. If I remember correctly, cmd-w would close customize view, which was another window back then…
Also, there is a macOS setting that can quit an app when its last window closes, but again, I’m not sure about that either…

Thanks. Just looking at the PL manual now and there’s no Command+W for the customise tab anymore.
This C+W keeps tripping me over when I think I’m closing an email or server.
Command-W is indeed “close window” but it is reasonably common for that to close an application that only has one window, which is strictly true of PhotoLab. Though I agree that the Customise “tab” should be treated as a window as it has an obvious relationship to the PhotoLibrary tab.

In fact, Apple’s Photos app behaves the exact same way. Command-W closes the application, even from an open photo.
I see. Interesting. I never have used an app like that where com+W Quits it. It does make sense then, that Com+W would close PL being one window, and that, compared to 99% Mac OS software, is a flaw if it disrupts workflow. Something to drop in the suggestion box at DXO.
Indeed, same here. But when i have the picture browser selected on my 2nd monitor, apple+w only closes this. Seems to depend on the app. Apple+w with iTunes for example, just closes the window, no quit. This is in my experience also the most common behaviour.

Thanks, I’ll make sure the pic browser is always in the other screen.
That makes perfect sense from a purely technical standpoint. The picture browser is a separate window, so that’s what closes.
