If a window is minimised, hidden, or on a different desktop to the current one, it isn't counted as being open and the app will be quit.

@nihaals Can you please let me know what apps you are noticing this for? I tested with sublime text and it seems to function correctly for me.

TextEdit seems to do it. I just tested 3 different cases (on v1.3):

  • Minimised
    • Open TextEdit
    • Minimise it
    • Run Close Windowless Apps from the menu bar
    • Notice TextEdit is quit
  • Hidden
    • Repeat as above but hiding instead of minimising
  • Different desktop
    • Open TextEdit
    • Switch to a different desktop
    • Run Close Windowless Apps from the menu bar
    • Notice TextEdit is quit

Hello! I had the same situation here, it looks as if it can't see the windows in other desktops or even in full screen.

  1. Open Chrome
  2. Put it on full screen
  3. Go back to the original desktop
  4. Run Close Windowless Apps from the menu bar
  5. Boom! It closes Chrome

A similar problem happens with Adobe Reader.

  1. Open pdf in Adobe Reader
  2. press cmd+L to start presentation mode
  3. after a few moments, the app closes
