Setting to not show the Quit Ardour dialog

(Will mention this on forum for now)

Took me a while to realize that when testing Ardour it is a good idea to just launch by opening a project file, if not = so many damn popups and “are you sure” dialog questions! :slight_smile:
So this at least gets rid of some of them.

It is common that if an application contains a file/project that has not been saved, that it asks user if they would like to save before closing the application, which Ardour does.

However if session has already been saved, Ardour still asks Quit Ardour?

So even though finally get rid of most of the “are you sure” dialogs, this still occurs.

I did not want to say anything, but I think Ardour has a real attachment issue :slight_smile:

I understand the purpose of this, but I was wondering if it would be considered to offer a setting that would allow user to prevent this dialog from appearing?

Ideally would just like to be able to quickly close Ardour when I close Ardour.
To me the “not saved” warning dialog is all that would be needed.
I am not worried about accidentally closing Ardour, like in a live setting or anything like that.

Hopefully someone will be interested in this update.
Thank you to anyone who reads this

There is already one, but you have to manually edit the ui_config file in ardour’s config folder and set

<Option name="ask-before-closing-last-window" value="0"/>

PS. edit the file while Ardour is not running.

Okay nice! I did not know about this, I will try this out.
Thank you Robin
