RFE: Don't prompt to save when closing if no change was made (Photo)


Recommended Posts

Please don't prompt* to save a document upon closing it when the only action after the last save was to export something. Simply exporting doesn't change nor otherwise affect the source document, so there should be no prompt to save if exporting was the only action since the last save.

* Or at least offer a preference to suppress such superfluous prompts.

Thanks.

But it does change the source document. It records your Export settings, so they are remembered the next time you want to Export it. You can see that by looking at the History panel.

OK, then - It doesn't alter the image content of the document. That's just basically metadata. I'd still like to suppress the useless warning, though.
