Request for change to 'switch to desktop after closing a modern UI app' feature

from Stardock Forums

Thank you for adding the 'Switch to desktop after closing a modern UI app' feature to version 1.11 of Start8.  It's a helpful feature.

But...can you please consider enhancing this feature to allow 'Switch to desktop after closing a modern UI app' only when a modern UI app is invoked from the desktop vs. when a modern UI app is invoked from the Windows 8 Start Menu?

I have several modern UI apps pinned to my Start8 start menu - I would like to return to the desktop when invoking one of these Start8 menu pinned modern UI apps.  But when I'm on the Windows 8 Start menu and invoke a modern UI app I would like the modern UI apps to close to the Windows 8 Start menu.

Is this possible?  If so, can you please consider enhancing this feature to support this request?

Many thanks...

I too like the sound of rjg5060's request, and if that distinction can be made, please add my name to that request as well.

regards,

Just checking with Stardock if this is something they would consider as a feature in a future release... 

I think having the requested distinction on the 'Switch to desktop after closing a modern UI app' feature added in Start8 version 1.1 would be a nice addition.  Ideally this feature would be added so that a user has a choice to always return to the desktop or to return to the desktop only when the modern app is started from the desktop.

Thank you...
