eliminate warning to close an image

[Paul]

Hi all - -

I am new here but have been using PSP since Jasc 4 and am now on 2019 Ulimate.

I would like to get rid of the annoying (to me) image close warning. IE, 'are you sure'.

I have gone to the preferences and disabled all of the listed warnings but this one is not listed. Am I stuck?

Thanks - -

I'm not sure that I understand the exact issue. When I open an image in the PSP workspace and immediately click the X in the corner, if I haven't made any changes to the image it closes immediately with no warnings. If I have made changes and then try to close I get a dialogue asking if I want to save the changes. I don't recall ever getting an "are your sure" warning.

As to the dialogue asking if I want to save the changes, to avoid getting that I can hold the Shift key at the same time as clicking the X and the image closes without any warnings or dialogue.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I get the warning dialogue only after I have made changes. I have not been aware of using the shift key to avoid the warning. Unfortunately, I have just tried this and I still get the warning dialogue.

JoeB is correct: maintaining the shift key down while clicking the X closes a modified image without warning and without saving it.

Well, darn. Sounds like good advice but does not work here. Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit. Intel i7, 3 ghz.

Any more thoughts?

It works for me, I use the same tip for many commands like New Image and New Layer. It lets me create new images and layers quickly without worrying about changing the default settings. In fact many commands will run silently with the last used parameters if you're holding the SHIFT key while clicking on it.

The whole point of that warning is to make sure you don't lose everything you did just because you forgot to save before closing so it's a good warning to have.

The only other thing I can think of is a bound script that silently executes the FileClose command, you can attach this to a shortcut key to execute the command.

Wow! I did not know about running the commands silently and this does work for me, but not the warning avoidance.

Yeah, the warning has probably saved me a few times but mostly I would like to be rid of it. Been using this software for going on 20 years. So, maybe I should know more.
