Batch mode does not close Dolphin

11-10-2017, 04:42 AM #1

Operating System: OSX El Capitan 10.11.6
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: 5.0-321

Just what it says in the title. I start dolphin from the command line with the -b flag, but dolphin doesn't close automatically.

I've tried starting it with no other arguments (just /Applications/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/Dolphin --batch) and with a movie file to play (/Applications/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/Dolphin --batch --movie=path/to/movie.dtm).

In the first case dolphin opens and hangs around. In the second case dolphin opens, plays my movie, and hangs around when the movie is finished.

I can provide any configuration details that might be relevant but ... what the hell? I've looked and can't find anything batch mode related. Is there some switch I need to flip to make batch mode close automatically?

Can't reproduce your issue on the latest version on Linux (tried both -b or --batch). Is Dolphin stuck when closing or is it simply not closing automatically?

Aw man, I hope it's a setting thing and not an OS thing. Dolphin doesn't appear to be stuck ... I can go into the menus, open up configuration windows, etc. If I have "pause at end of movie" set then the movie finishes, the movie window hangs around, and so does the main Dolphin window. If I do not have "pause" set then the emulation window keeps running, and so does Dolphin. In both cases, if I press Escape the movie / emulation window closes and so does Dolphin.
