Enable closing ⓧ button for text window

[ad-si]

Is there a way to enable the red window closing button for text windows and web views? It's quite unintuitive that you have to click a separate "Quit" button.

Vars

apptitle="YOUR APP NAME"
version="1.0"

Set Icon directory and file

iconfile="/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/Finder.icns"

response=$(osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "The first step is to select your USB key\n\nSelect USB to continue Cancel for Quit" buttons {"Cancel","USB"} default button 2 with title "'"$apptitle"' '"$version"'" with icon POSIX file "'"$iconfile"'" ')

action=$(echo $response | cut -d ':' -f2)

Exit if Canceled

if [ "$action" == "Cancel" ] ; then
osascript -e 'display notification "Program closing" with title "'"$apptitle"'" subtitle "User cancelled"'
exit 0
fi

a button continue or exit for Text window exactly what you said

Attach button for test
TestButton.command.zip
Try it double clic then see it, open with text edit

I think you misunderstood. What I want is to use the native window closing button. However, as you can see in following screenshot, it is disabled per default:

Now the question is: How can I reenable it / activate it?

Ha ok Sorry 😂 You need to edit the MainMenu.nib file with Xcode
Check the Close option

To do this when you creat the app you need Unchek the box

Changed in master. New behaviour across the board: All windows now have an enabled close button which quits the app when pressed.

Back in the days, such behaviour was a violation of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. Apps were to stay open even if their only window was closed. But not even Apple seems to abide by these rules any more, and only old Mac guys like me seem to like them. :/

I just tried this out with the latest HEAD, but the x is still grayed out.
Here is how I use Platypus: https://github.com/ad-si/Perspec/blob/master/makefile

Do I have to enable it somehow?

Strange. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the command line tool? Does this also happen when you create an app using the GUI app?

Several times

When I create an app with the GUI, the x button works.
I've also built all the example apps with make_examples.pl, but "SpeakDroplet" was the only one of them with a working x button.
