Close everything without saving

[Andreas D]

Hello together,

Short question: Is there a way to close everything in Affinity Photo without saving changes? 

My current workflow for editing my RAW pictures is, to open a favorite, edit, develop to jpeg, export, open the next one...

If i'm repeating this process with many pictures, the program uses lot of RAM and i need to close everything.

But i didn't found any possibility to "Close All" ... so i need to close the programm and press the "Don't save" button as much as i have open windows... on a Mac with its Memory on its limit this is kind of time consuming and annoying. Moreover i don't want to save anything, because i don't need the RAW's after exporting anymore.

Long term question: Is there a way to improve my workflow? (I know about the existence of Stack Images.. but it seems to me, that i need macros which are working perfectly fine, so that i can make use of... since i'm not that Pro-User i'm preferring the edit-manual approach currently) 

Thanks!

 

Greetings,

Andreas

Thank you very much for sharing the links

I've searched before i've added the new thread.

Didn't found the first link with my keywords - but unfortenately it's not helpful

Indeed I've found the second link - but unfortunately this is not the answer of my question

Didn't found the third link - that's exactly what i'm trying to describe here. 

Thank you for your help - sorry that i didn't add additional 5 minutes for search.

In the meantime you might use keyboard shortcuts - Cmd+W followed by Cmd+D and repeat for each window. 🙂 It's faster than using the mouse.
