NAME

App::SlowQuitApps - Simplify configuration of SlowQuitApps app on MacOS

VERSION

This document describes App::SlowQuitApps version 0.000003

SYNOPSIS

use App::SlowQuitApps;

# Set slowness of quit (in seconds)...
delay 1.25;

# Make only these apps slow-quit...
slowquit 'Microsoft PowerPoint';
slowquit 'Terminal';
slowquit 'Firefox';

# Or else...make all apps slow-quit EXCEPT these...
fastquit 'Calendar';
fastquit 'Safari';
fastquit 'Notes';

DESCRIPTION

This module makes it easier to configure the SlowQuitApps application (https://github.com/dteoh/SlowQuitApps).

Once the module has been installed, you can simply create a Perl script, like the one shown in the "SYNOPSIS". That script will then reconfigure SlowQuitApps when run.

INTERFACE

The module exports three subroutines:

delay( $DELAY_IN_SECONDS )

Call this function to specify how long the slow quit takes to quit. The argument is the number of (fractional) seconds.

Non-positive delays are rounded up to 1 millisecond, which is useless...but better than dealing with the inevitable time paradoxes that crop up when SlowQuitApps attempts to quit an app before you actually press COMMAND-Q.

slowquit( $APP_NAME )

Call this function to specify an application to be added to the blacklist (i.e. another app to be explicitly slow-quit, even though most other apps are not).

The single argument is the name of the application to be slow-quit, as a string.

Calling this function sets SlowQuitApps to blacklist mode.

fastquit( $APP_NAME )

Call this function to specify an application to be added to the whitelist (i.e. another app to be quit in the normal instananeous manner even though most other apps are being slow-quit).

The single argument is the name of the application to be fast-quit, as a string.

Calling this function sets SlowQuitApps to whitelist mode.

DIAGNOSTICS

Can't locate SlowQuitApps

The application this module configures could not be located. Therefore that application could not be configured.

Did you forget to install SlowQuitApps?

Can't slowquit application %s at line %d (application not found)

The application named in the error message either could not be located, or else its system identifier could not be determined.

In either case, this makes it impossible for slowquit() to add it to the SlowQuitApps blacklist, as you requested.

Did you misspell the application name?

Can't fastquit application %s at line %d (application not found)

The application named in the error message either could not be located, or else its system identifier could not be determined.

In either case, this makes it impossible for fastquit() to add it to the SlowQuitApps whitelist, as you requested.

Did you misspell the application name?

Can't configure both slowquit and fastquit on apps. Configuration unchanged.

SlowQuitApps doesn't support having both a whitelist and blacklist at the same time. Indeed, it's not clear what that would even mean.

But you tried to add two or more apps using both slowquit and fastquit, so the module gave up.

You're going to have to choose whether you want to explicitly specify which apps are to be slow-quit (i.e. by calls to slowquit), or else specify that all apps are to be slow-quit except the ones you explicitly specify (i.e. one or more calls to fastquit).

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

App::SlowQuitApps requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

No Perl dependencies.

Requires the SlowQuitApps application to be installed.

And that you're running on MacOS, obviously.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
