2.16. Quit

The Quit command causes GIMP to close all images and exit. If there are any open images which contain unsaved changes (that is, they are not marked as « clean »), GIMP notifies you and displays a list of the unsaved images. You can then choose which images you would like to save, or you can cancel the command. Note that if you have a large number of images open, or are using a large part of the RAM on your system, it may take a little while for everything to shut down.

2.16.1. Activate Command

  • You can access to this command from the image menubar through FileQuit,

  • or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Q.

  • For most systems on which the GIMP runs, you can also execute it by clicking on a « Close » button somewhere on the main image window's titlebar. The location and appearance of this button are determined by the windowing system and the window manager.

    [Note] Note

    The « Close » button in the upper right corner of the Toolbox has the same action.
