Hi @Eloi5ECE ,

The only way to avoid seeing a message asking you if you want to save changes before closing documents before quitting is to not have any documents open that are not saved. Like you, I also don't want to save every image.

 

Here's what I do:

  • Cmd+W: Shortcut for File > Save (Ctrl+W on Windows)
  • D: Shortcut for "Don't Save" in the dialog (I'm not sure what it is in Windows, but the letter should have an underline
  • Cmd+Q

If you save and close all documents before quitting Photoshop, do you still see that message?

hello jane, no I don't think it would always appear, but precisely when I'm working on a photo I export it to a folder and I don't save it, because I don't want to. I have friends who don't need to save before closing the document and this is what I want to do. 
thank you in advance for your help.

  • Cmd+Q: Quit Application (In Windows, I think it's Alt+F4, but Ctrl+Q may work. Look in File > Quit to see the shortcut.

For me, it's pretty fast because I do it enough: Cmd+W > D > Cmd+Q.

 

You could write an Action to close without saving if you really need it, then assign it to a keyboard shortcut. IMHO having this message does more good than harm, as otherwise folks might accidentally Quit and lose a lot of work.
