You can't cancel quitting Mantid

[Harry Jeffery]

In most applications, if you hit exit and haven't saved, you get a prompt asking you to optionally save your changes. You can cancel the dialogue which will stop the application from exiting. This is very useful if you only hit exit by mistake and don't want to exit the application.

Mantid does not give you this choice. Once you've indicated whether or not to save your project Mantid always exits.

[Harry Jeffery]

As a result of #9970, you are prompted when you have unsaved changes and you try to quit.

Testing

• Open MantidPlot
• Do something, like open a workspace, create a table, create a note, etc.
• Try to close mantid
• You should be asked if you want to save changes to project
  • Hit cancel
• Mantid should not close

[Dan Nixon]

Works fine, however I think the concept of what "unsaved changes" are needs to be revised as I am not prompted to save anything if I load a workspace and run several algorithms on it, but I am if I load a workspace and open the data view.
