Getting Mac OS X applications to close after last window closed
Problem
I know it's just a pet peeve, but I hate it that Mac OS X's Preview.app stays open when it has no windows open. Is there any way to make it close when its last window is closed? Since I don't see any option inside Preview to make that happen, I imagine that the answer might be applicable to other programs that have similar … idiosyncrasies. I realize that this is not outside the OS's interface guidelines. That is, I recognize that this isn't a bug that will be fixed. I'm wondering if there is some way to automatically close selected GUI applications that have no windows open.

Fix for: Getting Mac OS X applications to close after last window closed
Try RedQuits: RedQuits is there to help if you have ever tried to close an application with its red button and wondered why it is still open. With RedQuits, all programs now quit when there's only one window left for that program. If you want to quit and close all open windows of a program, just uncheck "Quit only when 1 window is left for that app." in the preferences.
