Bring back the old behavior of closing the main window

[Evertt]

So I'm talking about the new Wavebox X. I just upgraded to it and now I lost one of my favorite features of the old Wavebox, which was that if I closed the main window, the app would disappear from the dock and app switcher, but it would still be on in the background and keep notifying me of new mail coming in. And there would still be an icon in the task bar with which I could open it.

This was literally the main reason I liked Wavebox more than any of the alternatives. Could you please bring it back?

Also, how do I disable the dashboard all-together? I literally only use Wavebox to check one gmail account, so I have no need for a dashboard.

Doesn't the setting: "Quit the app when losing the main Wavebox window" do this effect?

You can delete the dashboard just as you would delete a service on right click -> Delete group

No it just minimizes the window. I don't want to minimize the window, I want to close the window and see the app disappear from the dock and the app switcher.

Nope. Delete group is available on all services EXCEPT the dashboard. At least for me.

So either it will come soon to the app or something else is wrong (see image below):

If I use the setting then this happens:

• It closes the app and switcher is being terminated, wavebox is not running.

If I do not use the setting:

• It closes the app to the tray and stays open in tray

Which version of wavebox are you using? Because there was a fix in 10.0.29 about not being able to remove the dashboard.

Which version of wavebox are you using?

10.0.42-1, so I guess the bug returned.

If I do not use the setting: It closes the app to the tray and stays open in tray

If by tray you mean dock then yes that's what it does on my machine, which is not what I want. I want what I describe in my original post, which is what it used to do.

edit

I just reverted back to Wavebox Classic, it does everything I long for. :-)

We are working on adding similar hide to tray behaviour from wavebox 4.

We haven't put a heavy push on existing users to move a across just yet as we're still working on bringing a few of these things across :)

Hi, we've just added this to the beta version (10.0.64). If you want to give it a try there's some info on how to switch to the beta channel here https://kb.wavebox.io/beta-channel/

All being well, it should be shipping to stable shortly

@Thomas101 I see the option in the settings:

And well, first of all it doesn't work for me. When I close the main window, the dock icon stays, while I was expecting it to disappear.

Second of all, there's something weird when I press cmd+W. I expect that to be the shortcut for closing the window. Instead it just reloaded the window. I think I understand why this is the case, because you're using Chromium and Chromium expects cmd+W to mean "close tab". And apparently you have this weird behavior configured that if only one tab is open and you try to close that tab, it just reloads that tab. In normal Chrome, closing the last tab is the same as closing the window. Please make it work like that.

And finally, the wording of the setting is a bit confusing, because the title of the setting is "Quit Behaviour" which at first made me think this would relate to when I quit the app. But after I saw that that didn't work (since the menu bar icon then also disappeared) I started reading the description underneath the title which said the setting was for when you close the main window.

~~And before you add any more effort into fixing it, I just want to add one more comment about something that is slightly annoying about how it works in Wavebox Classic, even though it does it close to perfect. In Wavebox Classic, when I close the main window, the dock icon disappears. Great. However, even though it appears that now another app has focus, secretly Wavebox Classic still has focus. Which means if I now hit cmd+Q with the intention to quit another app, Wavebox Classic actually quits.~~ Never mind I just tried this again and it seems to have been fixed. So in that case yes please just copy the EXACT behavior of Wavebox Classic. It's literally the best way that I can imagine this to be implemented.

Hey guys, are you guys still open to copying this behavior from Wavebox Classic? It's literally the only reason I'm still using classic.
