why is affinity photo closing files without 'save changes' prompt?

[*mark]

I've had his a couple of time lately, closed the wrong file and dumped half a day's work - but I'm wondering why I got no prompt to save. I click close in error and wham, its gone, just like that, no questions, no save in the background, no prompt... Have there been changes I'm not aware of?

I’ve never seen this occur, and I don’t think there’s a setting in Settings that allows it to occur.

Which version of Photo are you using and on which OS?

If this is reproducible, can you record and upload a video showing it happen?

Hi Mark,

Since making this post have you run into this issue again at all? If you have providing the info Garry P requested above should allow us to look into this further with you.

Thanks

Hi Callum & Garry P

Thanks for the nudge. Just typed in the long answer, clicked 'cookies' prompt and got my answer completely deleted....

Short answer: The problem arose working with multiple files - dragging and dropping layers and selections between them for half a day, and whereas to replicate it, I could open up multiple files and close them, I couldn't really replicate half a days work, which may have caused the problem or some confusion when closing file without the prompt. 

I did the usual clearing out of caches, history, recent docs etc and it hasn't happened again, although I am considerably more cautious before closing each file now.

Many thanks Mark
