gEDA-bug: [Bug 792459] Re: gschem shuts down the application on file-close

[KaiMartin <792459@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Then this is a case of sub optimum GUI design. At minimum, the menu button should say more explicitly what it does: "close window", rather than just "close" and let the user infer what this refers to. 
For better discoverability all close actions should be concentrated in the file menu. This is how major GTK applications like gimp, inkscape, firefox, abiword, or gnumeric do it.

Title:
  gschem shuts down the application on file-close

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The file close action in menu shuts down the application, rather than
  just close the currently visible sheet. There seems to be no
  difference between close and quit action.

  To reproduce:

  1) open gschem with a schematic ( foo.sch )

  2) within gschem open a different schematic with the open action of
  the file menu

  3) choose close from the file menu

  The application quits. It should just close down bar.sch and show
  foo.sch instead.
