Feature Request - Notify user when launcher closed during active connection

[zfi]

In v 0.9.8 of the launcher, it is possible to close the launcher regardless of the connected state of the launcher. Would it be possible to open a confirmation dialog window when the launcher is actively connected to a browser session to confirm that the launcher should actually be closed?

Good idea. It may be possible- I'll look into it. Chrome Apps have some strict rules about what is possible (and in what timeframe) upon application close - being able to cancel the application close event may be one of the limitations that is hard to get around.

You should be able to use 'beforeunload'

Not in a Chrome App; that event seems to not be triggered, or somehow circumvented. Just tried it.

I don't think there's a way to do this in a Chrome App, based on everything I've been reading. The Chrome App lifecycle is this:

It does not good to handle the onSuspend() because the window is closed and the process will be terminated very soon. onSuspend() is for quick cleanup.

I think we can only achieve this through nwjs, which has a feature for this enhancement; however, that will only work on Windows/Mac/Linux, not Chromebooks.
