Beginners' Questions Not quitting Inkscape when I close the last window (Mac)

    Opening the Inkscape app can take a few seconds (30 - 50), so I'd prefer to keep the app open until I'm done using it.
    But when I close all the windows, Inkscape quits entirely. Then I have to relaunch it.

    Is there a setting to keep Inkscape open even if no document is opened?

    I know this behaviour - but this isn´t longer the case here: saving and closing the last file will prompt a "New document#No" for me. I´m not sure if there´s an explicit  setting I just can´t find. This is how it works here:

    Don´t close via window button:  - this will shut down Inkscape when no other file is open - instead use

     cmd+W (Close). That should prompt a new empty file numbered.

    When I close all the windows, Inkscape automatically "respawns" a new document, and I can't sand this either. I'm on a Mac.
