--- Comment #5 from jan d <[email protected]> --- I tried to replicate the problem of having multiple open documents with unsaved changes in one application and closing the main window with several applications (Softmaker, Affinity, PFD XChange). They all behaved like what the John suggested: Cancel means "cancel closing and keep this open" rather than "keep this document open, move to the next." I also tried to see if any User Interface Guidelines had guidance on this: – Apples 2008 guidelines suggest to treat cancel as “forget I mentioned it.” which would suggest abandoning the "close all" entirely, since this was the command that the user issued (Implementation wise it is probably a composite command, but the user does not need to know that); – In Windows 7 cancel means "abandon all changes", also compatibel with the behavior that is suggested here and that the apps I tried showed. – The only guidelines that matched behavior we currently have is the Gnome 2 guidelines, which explicitly asks for a series of confirmation alerts. Given the behavior of the applications I tried and the guidelines, I would suggest the following behavior of the confirmation alerts/save-dialogs: -Save (this document and then continue to the next document) -Discard (this document and then continue to the next document) -Cancel (the operation I requested, Ctrl+Q, and stop here, leave all other documents open) Which is consistent with what John asked for, I think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
