Comment 10 for bug 170550

Just adding my vote for close being relevant to the document and not the application - annoys me more and more as I use Inkscape more and more.

Seems that a hacky fix would be quite easy to implement - just have the menu/key-combo spawn a new doc before it closes the old one.

That seems a lot more document-centric to me also. FWIW The GIMP and Scribus do it this way, closing last doc doesn't quit the app, it just closes the doc (but then they have a container window of sorts). Krita similarly returns one to the initial "open document" dialog on close.
