SuperDuper won't exit after backup

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?
Steve

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?
