Aseprite does not close properly if minimized

Bug Reports
1

Version: Steam- Aseprite v1.3.7 -x64
Date: August 23rd, 2024
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Expected Results:

When minimized, mousing over Aseprite on the taskbar and pressing the on its preview should close the program.

Actual Results:

Nothing happens and it does not close if you press the when its minimized. If you tried this, it will close immediately if you try to un-minimize it.

Experience and Suggestion:

Adds an annoying extra step which gets in the way of workflow when combined with gamedev and opening files through the engine’s editor(Unity). Several aseprite files exist in projects so multiple Aseprite programs end up needing manual exiting. Would likely be more intuitive if opening an aseprite file through engines like Unity simply opened up an extra tab in an existing running instance of Aseprite, if there is one.

have you considered that it didnt close because it was trying to save your work? cause it works just fine for me when aseprite is open, unless i made a recent change and didnt save in which case it stops you from closing without confirming
