What it does

Written by AI from the README

Makes the close button and Alt+F4 minimise the Zotero main window instead of quitting. Use File then Quit or Ctrl+Q to really exit. Windows only; the PDF reader and other windows are not affected.

Keeps sync and the Zotero Connector running in the background when you close the window by habit. Settings let you turn each behaviour off.
