Close ALL - No Save

In the height of laziness (er I mean efficiency) I recently wrote this script that closes all documents EXCEPT the one that you've got selected, useful if you find yourself in a situation where you're looking at lots of images and wondering which one to choice, select it and instantly disregard all the rest. Not that this happens frequently but I was curious write such a thing.

//close everything else execept the current document

//pref pixels
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

// make a copy of the array
var docs = new Array();
for (i=0; i < app.documents.length;  i++) {
docs = app.documents;
}

// call the selected document that you want to keep open
var selectedDoc = app.activeDocument;

//alert (docs.length + " number of docs open")

//run a loop for all the open documents
for (i=0; i < docs.length;  i++) {

// if this isn't the selected document then close it
if (docs != selectedDoc) {

//close that document without saving
docs.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
   }

}

If you're feeling a bit more lazy, you can create an action by recording as you close an image and don't save it.  Then just use batch and run the action on all open files.

Photoshop CS5 has amenu item File>Close all when the prompt come up there is a check box you can check to have the your no save answer apply to all. You can use that in an action.  Also Trevor Morris has many free scripts on his web site one is Close ALL Without Saving http://morris-photographics.com/photoshop/scripts/close-without-save.html

Then calling this may do what you wish…

#target photoshop

while(app.documents.length > 0)
     {
     app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
     }
