Sound good workaround, now I gotta find ACTION script....


You make it yourself. Go to Window>Actions to open the actions panel.

Then you can create a New Folder for YOUR specific new set of actions. 
Then click the little "+" at the bottom of the actions panel to create a NEW ACTION.
Name it and choose a Keyboard Shortcut to use. Then just make sure you have a file open, with something changed (use a brush, add a layer... anything) then press record, then Press Command+W (Control +W on PC) then click "Don't save" then stop the recording on your Action. 

Then you can open a new file, make a quick change, and try out your new Action with the keyboard shortcut you chose!

Hope that helps.

To the script or action that closes the document without saving,
assign the combination ctrl+w (for windows) and enjoy : )

Command +W doesnt bypass the save changes dialogue. But you could create an ACTION using Command +W TO close the window and selecting "Don't Save" then you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the action and VOILA! Like Magic!

Hope this helps!

 

Merry Christmas!

      Hi there,

       

      This is as designed and cannot be disabled. Photoshop will always ask to save a file if it's not already saved and you close it after making changes.

      Regards,

      Yes, that's understood that it is desgined in that way and that under normal circumstances we don't need to override it. 

       

      I want to know if there is hack/workaround to disable it temporarily?

      Generally, if this was possible, there would be a flood of "Adobe ruined my work".

       

      As r-bin says, make an action to close without saving and assign a shortcut to it.
