Remove 'Double Click to Exit' from Inventor Icon / Main Menu

Status: Gathering Support
by Advocate Generic on ‎09-19-2014 09:09 AM

Please give us the option to turn off the Exit command when the Inventor logo / icon is double clicked. This is a menace, not a feature.

 

Windows programs do use the program's logo to exit if double clicked, but the icon does not pull double duty as a menu button! Windows program's use the logo to duplicate the functionallity of the window sizing buttons on the right of the screen; nothing else.

Autodesk Vault follows the Windows convention...

I wish I could give more than one kudo to this.

 

Having the software exit on a double-click is INCREDIBLY dangerous in a world where Logitech - arguably the world's most common brand of mouse - exhibits random double-clicking as the most common failure mode.

Not the best comparison - the first set of images is all Ribbon tab names, the Vault image is for a menu.  Both are different UI implementations.

 

Is this then a request for a "File" tab in Inventor, which duplicates the behavior of items under the Application icon?

My apologies, you are correct; the Vault does not use the ribbon as the others examples do.

 

You are also correct in that I'd prefer that the "File" ribbon tab be reinstated as a separate entity from the application icon which duplicates the minimize, restore and close commands in the MS Office programs.

 

Short of that, I'd simply like the option to disable the close command on Autodesk's current hybrid application icon / ribbon tab thinga-ma-jig.

Any reply from Autodesk regarding this problem???

Double clik that icon to exit is just stupid! Many times happened to me, to click that twice, then window popped out asking if I want to save- offcourse I dont want to save, why would I?? I wanted to choose something else.... So I am hitting that "NO" and suddenly inventor goes off- then only swearing comes to my mind or imagination of me, a chainsaw and autodesk boss, tied up to a chair.... hmm...  :)

Honestly is it that difficult to get rid of that annoying feature and/or at least give an option to disable???

I'm bumping this thread to increase the possibility for autodesk to make this function. 

It happens some times with me aswell, and it is really annoying when i have several files open.

Just happend to me again.....

 

Please make the closing down on double click an option!!!

Or just remove it because who the hell would close a program like that it's just not natural.

I'm happy to say that it looks like Autodesk has addressed this issue for Inventor 2017.

What about doing an update for older versions to remove this STUPID feature? Or at least give us the option to disable it! Highly irritating! (I am using Inventor 2014)
