cancelling "preference closing script"

[Aussie John]

Hi, I have a script that activates on closing the file. Is there a way to offer a cancel script that will by pass this? Thanks

If you mean "cancel the closing of the file" the answer is no.

If you mean "cancel some part of the script that runs on close" the answer is yes: pop up a custom dialog asking the user to make a decision, or trap for a modifier key (or something similar).

I've made a bug report where upon closing the file a copy of the bug is emailed to me. The script runs when the window is closed using the Red close button ( on mac) and I was looking for a cancel option. I guess I will script a cancel of email and a delete when a record is not filled out.
