Hi,
I've recently discovered this wonderful software and this has become my go to image viewer. Thanks for distributing it for free.
While using XnViewMP I have found that whenever I make some changes to any file for previewing purpose and then decide not to save the file, the program still asks me with a confirmation dialog about keeping changes or discarding it. I went through all the options but couldn't find anything to turn that option off. Is there anyway to accomplish it?
PFA, the confirmation dialog I want to turn off.
Program: XnViewMP 64bit
Version: 1.0
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.24.4
No option to turn off 'Save changed file' confirmation?

Welcome as a new XnView user, great.potato.
You'll find a setting for save confirmation in "Tools > Settings | View | Misc". For ""Save changes to file" you can choose "Ask", "Always", or "Never". In your case "Never" is the right choice, I think.

If that is the requested option I think the wording is not clear, like great.potato I searched Settings and missed it...helmut wrote: Mon May 09, 2022 12:21 am You'll find a setting for save confirmation in "Tools > Settings | View | Misc".

Something like 'Warn before closing file with unsaved changes' better expresses the desired alert, but is maybe too long?

Too many settings in XnView.
