When sending a quit message to Colloquy, the warning requester shouldn't appear

Description

A few upgrades ago, Colloquy got a confirmation requester when quitting it.

Though there are a few ways to quit Colloquy w/o having the actual application active, like sending an apple script message, using the dock menu, pressing cmd-q while the app switcher (cmd-tab) is up and Colloquy is selected, etc.

IMHO Colloquy should not show the confirmation requester for any of these scenarios, and I'd much appreciate if (preferably) the behavior was changed, or (if you disagree) a (hidden?) preference was added to allow me to quit the application w/o having to activate it first (i.e. using one of the methods mentioned above).

This is also killing automatic shutdown

I'd personally like to have this as a preferences option: "Prompt on quit if connected" (See also #498).

The prompt itself could have a "This option can be changed in prefs" note, or a "Don't ask again" thing.

...or even better, a list of checkbox options in preferences where you can specify:

Prompt on quit if:

  • There are active file transfers
  • Connected to a server
  • Connected to a channel
  • There are unread messages
    • ...In which I was mentioned

I agree, this quit dialog is really bothersome. Use a preference checkbox combined with a "Don't ask again" checkbox. Your application wonderfully follows the Apple HIG on almost every point except here.

The patch uploaded currently makes quit promting a preference which can be disabled. It does not, however, have a check-box on the quit prompt and can only be modified through the preference menu.

Hidden preference patch

Added a tiny patch to hide the quit prompt.

You have no excuse not to roll this in!

Timothy, is there any feedback you would mind giving on this defect and the submitted patches?
