Your screenshots show that you have two three files open: P1004092.RW2, P1004094.RW2 and P1004100.RW2. Close them one at a time before trying to quit the app.

Just to elaborate on @Alfred's feedback above, you have one or two undeveloped RAW files open in the Develop Persona which need to be Cancelled or Developed before you can quit Affinity Photo...

You can see that in your first screenshot: 

That shows 3 files open. Probably the middle one is still in the Develop Persona.

I play with adjustments, but I can't just canceled  it or have an option to knew what is in progress so I don't know what to complete or what to cancel and I can't cancel, because I don't know what to cancel, so OK i foce quit application but cant finish job. Just dont see what is going on. In Designer you have an option to check or ucheck operation, in Photo I can't see which adjustment I use, which noit it is on or it is off? Can't control what is going on. Cant see which adjustment was used and which not, to maby reset it. I could use 10 adjustment close it and then I like to reset some of them, How?

Hi @Iztok,

I'm slightly unsure what problem you are describing here...

Your first post shows the Layer Effects Panel and your second post the Adjustment Panel...

Could you expand a little on what you mean when you say "I play with adjustments, but I can't just cancel it or have the option to know what is in progress so I don't know what to complete or what to cancel and I can't cancel, because I don't know what to cancel, so OK I force quit application but can't finish the job."?

Maybe a screen recording showing what you see in Designer and how that differs from what you see in Photo would help us to understand the problem you are having a little better...

In your screenshot: 

you can see that you have applied Bevel Emboss. If you had any others applied (from that dialog), they would have check marks, too, as in this example where I have also applied 3D: 

If you want to "cancel" layer effects, you turn them off by unchecking them.

Your next screenshot shows us the Adjustment panel. That is not where you see what adjustments you have applied. You see that in the Layers panel, which will show you the Adjustment layers that you have not yet Merged, and where you can delete them or click on their thumbnail(s) again to continue changing the adjustment parameters.

If you want to give up on an image, you would close that image (File > Close, or click the X on its document tab) not the complete application). If you try to close the complete application, or use File > Close All or Affinity Photo 2 > Quit then you may get a prompt like the one you started with, telling you that you have a Raw image being Developed. And in that case you will need to go to that item's document tab and click Cancel to the Develop operation.

But someware  must be indicate a reason why I can't close the app or maby force quit app I think. Also in adjustment can be a option to indicate which adjustment was used,  I am talking like user

There was a reason, which was explained (and you can see) in your screenshots: 

At that point, you, as a user, would look at the files you have open (each one has a document tab), see which one is in the Develop Persona, and either Develop or Cancel that image.

lso in adjustment can be a option to indicate which adjustment was used,

The Adjustments panel is for selecting an Adjustment to apply. Once you have picked one, you get an Adjustment dialog (which identifies the kind of Adjustment) and you get an Adjustment layer in the Layers panel, which also identifies the kind of Adjustment you made.

The Layers panel is where you look for that information, not the Adjustments panel.

A user needs some education about how the application works. They can use the Help, or the Tutorials.

The applied Adjustment will appear in the Layers panel, not visible in your screengrabs... clicking the Adjustment in the Layers panel will show the floating Adjustment Panel dialogue where you can make further adjustments and then close it using the Red Close button...

That is shown in your second screengrab... it's basically telling you that one or more files are being Developed (meaning in the Develop Persona) which you either need to Cancel or Develop before you can Quit the App...

I yust didnt fint it, so I suggest force quit could be an option, or info for what can't quit

That means you have closed all open files and still can't close the app?

Yes, the indeterminate message "At least one file is..." could be refined by the name of the file that could not be closed because it remained in the development process. If there will be more files, the name of the first "... and others" can be specified.

I agree, and that would make a good enhancement request for the Feedback forum.
