Open empty window on 'activate' when all windows are closed (OS X)

[elemongw]

Clicking on the dock when no window is open should open a new window, not reopen the last one as per OS X conventions

@weinand can you confirm this behaviour makes sense over our current behaviour?

@elemongw can you point to the UX guidelines on Mac where this is stated?

Excerpt from the OS X HIG

If the app is running when the user clicks its Dock icon, the app becomes active and all open unminimized windows are brought to the front; minimized document windows remain in the Dock. If there are no unminimized windows, the last minimized window should be expanded and made active. If no windows are open, the app should open a new window—a new untitled window for document-based apps, otherwise the main app window.

This rule is universally followed, even from apps that don't extensively follow the HIG

@bpasero yes, this makes sense.
