Please allow application to quit when last window is closed

[jnb]

I just realized that this is a different thread than I expected.
I had my problems with this script too. So I developed a preset which got rid of most of the quirks (not all though).

Try to install the preset and see if it works better for you:

Red Button of the last window quits the Application

Description of what you are sharing Opt-in for Apps! Only works for Apps you choose and add to the Conditional List. See How-to for more information. . What the preset is for: If there is only one window left, the App will quit, when the red button of the window is clicked. . How it works: If you want to add an Application, which should quit with the last open window, you have to do the following steps. Click on the Named Trigger 'Close that App'. Click in the right panel on the butt…

One example for the quirks are, that some settings windows from Menubar-Apps are never registered as frontmost and do not close with the red button. For example 'AlDente' in my case. So whenever I need to change anything in this app I have to deactivate/activate BTT.

Another thing.
You can always open the Hovered/Focused UI Element Viewer to see what windows is registered as frontmost/hovered.
You get there by clicking on your trigger > Advanced Conditions (right panel) > Hovered/Focused UI Element Viewer.

I used the code below.
I like to quit apps but , have dont like doing it to FInder , Whatsapp and Mail

tell application "System Events"
    set activeProcesses to first process where it is frontmost
    
    -- Get the name of the frontmost application
    set frontAppName to name of activeProcesses
    
    -- List of apps that should use default window closing behavior
    set defaultCloseApps to {"Finder", "Slack", "WhatsApp", "Mail","Google Chrome","Google Chrome Canary"}
    
    repeat with theProcess in activeProcesses
        if not background only of theProcess then
            tell theProcess
                set processName to name
                set theWindows to windows
            end tell
            
            set windowsCount to count of theWindows
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

-- Check if the frontmost app is in our list of special apps
if defaultCloseApps contains frontAppName then
    tell application "System Events"
		click button 1 of window 1 of process frontAppName
    end tell
else
    -- For all other apps, use the original logic
    if windowsCount is less than or equal to 1 then
        tell application (get path to frontmost application as text)
            quit
        end tell
    else
        tell application "System Events"
            keystroke "w" using command down
        end tell
    end if
end if
