SuperDuper won't exit after backup

[sline]

Hi -
I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard. My SuperDuper works fine when run from the automatic scheduler, however sometimes if I start it manually, after the backup finishes SuperDuper doesn't exit, and if I click the red close button it won't close the window. When in this situation it still won't exit if I click the menu Exit option. The only way I can get rid of it is to kill the pid. Anybody know what's going on here?

Does this happen when an automatic schedule has run but the drive isn't attached?

Yes, usually the automatic scheduler starts a backup, and my drive isn't mounted so I turn on the drive, it mounts, then I select the drive in the drop down menu, then I click a button to start the backup.

When it's done I rarely (never?) can kill it.

OK -- so, SuperDuper is in a mode where it's not allowed to prompt for things (because it's running scripted). You changed the drive pop-up which modified the settings, and when you're trying to quit it's trying to prompt you to save the settings, but can't display the dialog (because of the scripting).

Press Cmd+s before Cmd+q and it'll quit.

Hello,

I'm experiencing the exact same problem! I tried using Command + S, then Command + Q, but it still won't quit. Any more suggestions??

Thanks!

That really should work... your scheduled fired when the drive wasn't attached?

Thanks Dave! SD (ver. 84) popped up and alerted me that I needed to do my scheduled backup. I attached my firewire 800 WD MyBook 500GB external drive to my MacBook Pro and commenced the backup. It worked perfectly.

When it was done, I ejected the external drive and physically removed the firewire cable. Then, when I went to Command + Q SD, it just sat there. I tried clicking on the red dot - nothing. I tried pulling down the menu and selecting Quit - nothing. Then, I checked this forum and tried the Command + S, then Command + Q - still nothing.

Thanks for your help!

I don't know why that would be... the Cmd+s should save the settings and allow you to quit. You're not still stuck in that state, are you?

Dave,

It's been stuck ever since! When I try a Command + S, I get the little chime. When I try Command + Q, no luck.

Any ideas other than a force quit??

Thanks!

Just Control+Option+Click SD!'s dock icon and choose "Force Quit".

That worked - thanks!

Any ideas why it got stuck??

[dnanian]

Not if Cmd+s didn't work, no.
