| I bought myself a Macbook and I had to rebuild my Mac version for Crystals of Time. One publisher asked me to put a function to open an URL when the game quits. I had the following issues: - I used OpenURL right before End, after EndGraphics: When the game exits 2 Windows of Chrome appears: one with the link and one empty - While testing my app from the IDE, when the game exits I saw in Output this line: GUI is not supported in Fullscreen Any ideas what is happening? Thanks, |

| That's an OpenGL/Cocoa error. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/reference/applicationkit/classes/NSOpenGLContext_Class/Reference/Reference.html#jumpTo_19 See post 30 here http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=93712 And post 4 here http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59142 |

| How old are those posts? All I can see is they say "1+ years ago" - could be upto 10 years....is it still current? |

| Also Macs now have a new fullscreen mode which needs some rewriting of the maxgui code to support cmd+Q to quit is simple as you just need to move to a messaging based system and check for EVENT_APPTERMINATE & EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE - but you should be doing this anyway opening a new window on app quit is also frowned upon both by apple and users - just a thought |

| Matty, yeah could be out of date now, I'm not a Mac user really. I looked in the Max source and there is no message exactly like this. I believe what you need to do is switch from fullscreen to windowed first and then call openurl. |

| You could call the URL from a maxgui window or add a small delay maybe the graphics haven't been closed fully when you call openurl |

| the 2 browser windows problem does not appear anymore; regarding the message, does not affect my game in any way. @munch: yeah, that trick (going in 'window mode' and then open url) was ok. removed the debug message. Thank you again guys, R. |
