Can this issue be retagged or renamed, please, preferably merging the other similar RFEs I found below? I had a hell of a time finding this bug and I'm sure that this behaviour irks everybody who uses Inkscape and is experienced with the majority of other apps on ALL platforms that do not do this when the last document is closed. Close should just close documents and Quit should just kill Inkscape and all open documents, with the usual opportunities to save unsaved work, etc. Suggested titles: "Quit should just close all Inkscape documents and kill the running app", or "Close should only close documents, not quit Inkscape when only one document open". Tags could be "document", "last document", "single document", "close document", "quit Inkscape".

Affects 0.46 and earlier. See also similar RFEs: #171935, "OSX Don't close the application when closing Inkscape window"; #171596. "Reorganize UI when closing document [MDI]"; #170803, "Close document vs. Quit program".
