NWJS not completely closing when exiting app

Is the nwjs team even aware of the problem yet?

I don't think so. We could report the issue here:
https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues

But if the gui.App.quit(); command works properly, which it seems to, then it seems this would be something to fix in Construct rather than in NW.JS.

I have observed this as well with my Non-Steam copy and Non-Steam game. I am running x64 Windows 10 and my task manager is populated with a ton of these after testing in NWJS. They do take up a small amount of memory (for my project around 30-60mb), so it may be a problem for low end users.

Is this a Windows 10 problem? I have after uninstall an reinstall NWjs4c2 no problems with nw-tasks after exit a nw program under windows 7.

EDIT- Ok I worked on this issue a little more with the help of a programmer friend and we figured out a better possible solution.

1. Find your exported project's package.nw file and open it (it can be opened as a zip).

2. Open up the index.html file inside that archive.

3. Paste this code right before the last closing </script> tag:

var win = window['nwgui'].Window.get();

win.on('close', function () {
window['nwgui'].App.quit();
});

4. Save the new index.html file and the changed package.nw.

5. Test out your game to see if all processes close fully upon exit.

@Quicksand It seems to work for me! Thanx for the workaround.

I've incorporated that workaround for the next beta. That should paper over the cracks for existing projects, and new projects should not be affected anyway, since I think this stemmed from upgrading a NW.js 0.12 app. Closing.

Confirmed.
Fixed in r255.
No ghost processes in a project that previously had them.

@newt - A new typo *r225. XD

Typo, or wishful thinking.
