Under Preferences>Environment in Gimp 2.8.10 there is a check box ‘Confirm closing of unsaved images’. In Gimp 2.10 this feature is missing in Environment. Has this been moved to another area or just deleted? Is there a way to issue a text command that would be equivalent to unchecking this box?
I don’t need the prompt for saving.
I can not even remember that option, certainly gone in later Gimp 2.8 versions.
All part of the Gimp 2.6 → 2.8 controversy when Save split to Save (.xcf) and Export (other image formats) and that argument went on for years.
It is a way of preventing the unwary from losing data.
There are plugins that let you Save or Export without the popup message
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Save or export the current image -- do the right thing whether it's
# XCF (save) or any other format (export). This will mark the image clean,
# so GIMP won't warn you when you exit.
# Warning: this does not show a lot of extra dialogs, etc. or warn you
# if you're about to overwrite something! Use with caution.
