Denis,
A normal user would not know the difference between close window and kill process options.
- When is killing process preferable to closing window, given that it is easier for a user to specify a window's name
- (he can easily read it in the target application's Windows Bar)?
I would have added this, but do not know finer details:
- Often an application has multiple subprocesses. Would killing such a subprocess make sense?
- Also, some applications allow multiple instances; and each of them is a process.
- In such cases, how does a user select a particular instance?
- It would be too much to expect a non-programmer user to understand PIDs.
- What about killing process trees? Is it possible to manage them with Shutter?
- If not, better add a warning that killing process can have unexpected results; and can even destabilize the system.
I think it would be also better to add that the user can check the names of all running processes in the Task Manager, which is available by pressing ALT+CTRL+DEL.
