[suggestion] Confirm closing an application with multiple opened documents
Can you consider adding this option to the application settings? I'm talking about a situation where no edits have been made to open documents yet.

Hi Jensen Head,
just to be sure I understand, you want to be prompted with an "Are you sure?" type dialogue when closing multiple documents that have had no changes?

Yes, this is exactly what I need, because the application does not support automatic saving of the work session on close.

Hello Jensen Head,
For the time being while your suggestion is being considered - please try turning this option on: That way if you accidentally close the Editor with many unmodified files - you will then be able to easily restore them then next time you start the Editor.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: [suggestion] Confirm closing an application with multiple opened documents
Thank you, this is very similar to what I need, because I very rarely launch an application as such without opening a specific document.Tracker Supp-Stefan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 10:06 amFor the time being while your suggestion is being considered - please try turning this option on (...)
In addition, I found the topic "Dialogue about closing all opened documents" (https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31011) — does this mean that the requested functionality was previously present, and then was removed? Or did I once answer "Yes, and don't ask again"? to the question "Do you want to close all opened documents?" Then, perhaps, you need to add a confirmation list to the application settings, like the one present in Far Manager:
Code: Select all
╔═══════════ Confirmations ═══════════╗
║ [x] Copy ║
║ [x] Move ║
║ [x] Overwrite and delete R/O files ║
║ [x] Drag and drop ║
║ [x] Delete ║
║ [ ] Delete non-empty folders ║
║ [x] Interrupt operation ║
║ [x] Disconnect network drive ║
║ [x] Delete SUBST-disk ║
║ [x] Detach virtual disk ║
║ [x] HotPlug-device removal ║
║ [x] Reload edited file ║
║ [x] Clear history list ║
║ [ ] Exit ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────╢
║ { OK } [ Cancel ] ║

Hi Jensen Head,
I have passed on the request to the Dev Team for consideration and will post back here what the decision is.

Re: [suggestion] Confirm closing an application with multiple opened documents
Hi again Jensen Head,
to remove the preference from that prompt you may delete the registry key b.AskForCloseAllDocs in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Prompts
Your suggestion for a list in the preferences to manage these was well received. I have raised a feature request ticket for this: RT5916: Feature request :: Editor :: Confirmation list for prompts
As always, this is with the caveat that this is not a promise to deliver said feature, but a commitment to seriously looking into it. Lets see what comes.
I hope that helps.
