If you load a song that hasn't yet been analyzed (or start the analyzer on it manually through the library) and then exit (File -> Exit, not the WM close button), the GUI just hangs there (with the File menu highlighted) until the analyzer finishes.

Not really an end-of-the-world thing, just a nicety. I guess the preferred solution is to show a modal saying something to the effect of "Please wait for a moment while I'm analyzing your song, or click this button to abort and quit immediately" but it would probably be just as user-friendly to just hide the GUI window while the analyzer finishes. Right now it just freezes, which isn't very pretty.

My vote is for the modal box. (This avoids the appearance of the Mixxx process hanging.)

Fixed at lp:mixxx/1.9 r2639

I ended up just hiding the window, opening a dialog of some sort was turning into a total pain (can't create a dialog in a hung GUI...). Only solution would be to move destruction of MixxxApp to a different thread and that's a can of worms I'm not willing to open at the moment over a relatively rare/minor bug.

I'm marking this wontfix -- which is utterly stupid, because I committed the fix first to 1.8 before merging to 1.9, but that was also before I knew we weren't releasing anything more from 1.8 and I don't want this to sit as "fix committed" in the 1.8 series for perpetuity.
