Keka main window always opens, prevents automatic quit

[kristofferR]

I've set Keka to close automatically when no window is open and that works fine. However, since Keka opens the compression window at every launch (even when Keka opens in order to decompress an archive), Keka stays open after extraction is finished.

This is quite annoying, and makes me use another app as my default decompression app instead of Keka. Keka should quit automatically after extraction when it has been launched to extract something, that should at least be an option.

That is in fact the current behaviour. If you double click a compressed file, Keka will launch with only the task window (in this case showing the extraction task) and as soon as the task ends, Keka will close.

When you say Keka open the compression window at every launch, you mean the advanced window?

If this is the case, just note that you don't need to open Keka before doing an operation. You can drag and drop files to the icon in the dock, you can just double click for extracting files or use the context menu extension. Doing all of this do no require to open first Keka.

If the problem is that even with all the windows shut, the app keeps open in the dock, let me know.

Here's how it works for me:

Can you zip (to attach here later If necessary) and delete this file:

/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.aone.keka.plist

Be sure to close Keka first. Then try again. If that solves the issue, please attach the zipped file so I can see what was the problem.

[kristofferR]

com.aone.keka.plist.zip

No difference after deleting the preference plist (or its caches).

[aonez]

Just noticed you're using the 1.1 beta, is that right? Can you reproduce this with the stable version? (if needed, delete the plist before testing the stable one).

[kristofferR]

Yeah, no difference with 1.0.8.

[aonez]

So strange. Can you take a look at the Console.app (you can filer with "Keka") and let me know what it says?

You can enable more message output like this:
defaults write com.aone.keka DevLog -bool TRUE

Just disable the extra message output with FALSE:
defaults write com.aone.keka DevLog -bool TRUE
