I have a simple question:

Is there any way to shut down UltraEdit, and have it NOT ask for confirmation on any unsaved files? I just want it to shut down silently and immediately, discarding any changes in open files.

Is this possible?

Hi MTop

Yes, I don't know why you would want that but here goes.

Pull down menu "Advanced" --> "Configuration.."
Click the plus sign on "File Handling" than "File Change Dectection"

Under "File Change Dectection" click "Disable"

Hope that helps

Oh this is for version 11.20b

I don't want that for general useage. But sometimes, I've got a bunch of files open that I used as temp files, and I don't need to save them.

But it gets annoying when quitting out of UltraEdit means I have to click "No" seven times.

I *do* want UE to normally ask for confirmation. I just want a different hotkey combo that will allow it to quit silently and discard all changes (like Shift-Alt-F4, or something).

I guess there's nothing built in that would do this?

This macro closes all files without asking to save. Assign it to a Hotkey and you're done.

Loop
SelectLine
IfSel
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
CloseFile NoSave
EndLoop

Hi Bego,

Actually, it closes all files - the Select Line / IfSelect is used to determine if there is still a file left.
But granted, your loop is easier and does the job just as well - except one has more than 100 files open
