I am just wondering, if "application is meditating" it can still be closed by clicking the X button? I always wonder why no "Control Alt Delete" task manager or "Command Option Escape" close prompt appears. (Also my usual Command Q keyboard shortcut does not work either.)

So the solution was right in front of me the entire time? I only need to click the X?

I recently closed "application is meditating" by clicking X and it actually worked?! Is this the official solution?

well, sometimes a requester appears which says that the application has crashed and asks you to close the corresponding windows. the thing is, that even though the windows are closed it wont free up the ram which the app initially reserved.

so yes thats the "solution" if you can call it a solution. actually its just closing the windows of a frozen app.

ctrl+alt+del in windows calls the taskmanager where you can shut down an app in a clean way. thats something totally different.

Check out your Utilities drawer, theres an TaskManager too, which basically does the same for non crashed apps. Crashed apps cannot be removed in morphos from ram. Thats because MorphOS doesnt support safe memory management.

If the "Application is Meditating" windows appears, you can close the application window by clicking the close button. The application task still stays crashed in memory, so you may reboot your system at the next safe occasion.

I think that's due to no proper resource tracking, not MP. MP could avoid the crash itself, but resource trackig is required to free the captured memoroy again.

Actually, the code that's invoked when you press the close button and confirm (the same as running ikill from shell and clicking on a window) will free a bit of RAM, but most of all, it will close all associated windows AND it will let you run the MUI application again if the said application cannot be run in more than one instance at a time.
