How can I close all windows in Preview?

Hi all
I can't seem to find a way to close all windows in Preview.
Can somebody try this and see if they get the same result I do.
1. Copy an image into the clipboard.
2. Open Preview
3. Hold down command-N for about 20 seconds.
You should end up with dozens of windows with the image that you copied.
Now, try to close them.
I've unchecked 'Restore windows when quitting and re-openng apps' in System Preferences
I've typed in the 'defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows' hack in the terminal window
I've quit Preview with the 'option' button held down and 'Quit and Close All Windows' showing in the menu.
No matter what I do, the windows keep coming back every time I start Preview.
This 'force restore' feature of Lion is starting to get really annoying.

If I hold down the option key and go to Preview->File the Close Window menu item changes to Close all
I answered the OP's question but I see now that the question wasn't what he was really asking.

How can you close all pages in safari?

On my iPad it is possible to close all windows in Safari.
Is there a similar feature in Safari? Every time I clear the history, the last page remains open.
How can I close that window as well without having to first create a new blank one?
Regards

Yes, ok, but then I still have to open a new page to continue browsing.
on the iPad i can close all pages and safari for iOS defaults to favorites.

How can I close 'current' window and not all windows?

How can I close the current window (only) and not all or none?
This function works well with MS Explorer.
Not a problem, just a desired function.

Hi JLCluster,
If you just click the small x in the tab you are currently viewing, it will close only that tab. I think you are clicking the x in upper right hand corner of the screen which closes all open tabs as you described.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I close one window without closing all open windows?

If I open more than one window, I can't close just one. When I try to close just one, I'm warned that I'm about to close more than one (all of them) but I'm not told how to close just one.

Are you sure you aren't getting tabs confused for windows? If you close a window containing multiple tabs, Firefox should give you a warning that you are about to close several tabs. To close a tab do one of the following:
* click the x at the right end of the tab (when you only have a few tabs open)
* open the tab you want to close, then click the x that appears
* right click the tab and select 'Close Tab'
* open the tab you want to close and press Ctrl+W
You can close a window using Ctrl+Shift+W.

How can I close all open subVI front panels, without closing my top level VI front panel when all VIs are built into executables?

I'm using the code shown in the sample VI discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/353A696A3F393D9B86256E8B007A2912
to close all open VIs except my top level VI. My top level VI is actually a separate executable and the sub-VIs are their own executables. All reside under the same project. It works very well if I'm running in LabView but will not work when I build them. I added all the sub-VIs to the Always Include box in my top level VIs properties which did nothing. I also tried adding them to the Startup VIs box. This allowed me to close them all programmatically from the top level VI but it also open all the VIs at once (which was expected and not desired). I think the problem is the executables are not able to see outside their own memory space so the top-level VI never finds any other open front panels to close. Is this correct? Is there another way to go about doing this?
Thanks!

Where do I begin…..
I’m using a “server” to control 4 “client” PCs. My server opens references to 4 VIs on each client then executes them sequentially. So on a normal day, the server will run everything itself and I will have no contact with the clients. But on a several occasions, I’ve needed the ability to walk up to one of the clients and run just one of the 4 VIs.
We are updating from LabView 6.1 to 8.5 and we want to run executables rather than VIs for various reasons. I have a new VI running on the client PCs who’s only function is to initialize the shared variables and open/close the VIs. I initially thought of making the remaining 4 VIs sub-VIs but I will loose the ability to run them individually. I think I would also have to rewrite the VI running on the server since the 4 references it originally opened do not exist. I don’t think you can open a reference to a sub-VI on another PC. Can you???
As you can see, this is a huge mess. I’m still pretty new with LabView so any help you can provide would be great.

Before closing down the machine, how can I close all the open programs?

Now that the iMac automauically starts up with the programs in use when closing, I find that this is delaying my start.
There must be a shortcut to close all the open programs before closing the machine.
Kindly advise.

If by 'closing' the machine you mean shutting it down, there is a checkbox in the Shutdown confirmation window which is preset to re-start all apps at startup which were open when the machine was shut down. Uncheck that item in the Shutdown confirmation window.
Unfortunately you'll need to do that each time you shut the machine down.

How can I close current window.

I have a submitButton.
When I click it, using a method of javascript to close current window.
the coding like below:
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction(
"closeCurrentWindow",
"javascript:window.opener=null;window.close()");
pageContext.getJavaScriptFunction("closeCurrentWindow");
But I think it's not a idea.
Do you have another recommendations about the solution of this problem?
thx.

Hi,
I don't understand. Would you like to have a button to close the current window?
Or should it do also something else?
If you want only to close the window you can use a "button" (not item_style = "button", not "submitButton").
Then you must set its Destination URI property to javascript:self.close();
This will close the current window.
However note that using javascript is not right, according to OAF standards.

Gryllida: How can I close one window while keeping a second window open?

When I closed my primary window with all my tabs, the other window which came for the installing of an Adobe update closed as well. BOTH windows closed so I was unable to install the Adobe update. There must be a simple way to do this, but how. Thank you.
== Operating system ==
Windows XP

This Adobe update window was most likely a pop-up from within one of the tabs that you closed, which means that as soon as the parent page is closed, the pop-up closes as well, which is by design. You can update Adobe Plug-in by following the corresponding link at the [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page.

How can i close a windows application that works under vmware in am applescript

Hi there,
On my roof I have a set of solar panels. The daily score of these panels are only visible by using a Windows application.
So I use vmware on my Imac to start Windows 7 on Bootcamp, this all by using a applescript in the automator app.
In the script vmware is starting up and then i made a task in Windows that starts up the specific application after the Windows startup. After a delay of 180 seconds the script fills in a password an gives a return. That works well.
Unfortunately it runs perfect the first tim a and then the second time, the specific application does not start. Only Windows starts up, the rest of the script does not work the right way, exempt closing the vmware, that goes as expected. So I think that the closing command that I give in the script:
tell application "VMware Fusion"
quit
end tell
causes a problem. The closing of the application within Windows is perhaps not done on a proper way.
Therefore I am looking for a way to close that application first and then closing Windows 7 and then VMware.
Thanks in advance for your help.

As a completely different approach, I'd have a look at the raw network traffic with tcpdump or equivalent, and see if I could figure out how to access this data — if you're lucky, it's a fairly standard interface of some sort; HTML queries, possibly.
Start with a port scan of the controller for the panels (using Network Utility.app in OS X, or another tool), and see what IP ports are open and active.
Is there a vendor and model associated with the controller for the panels? That might turn up some software other than this Windows application/

How can I close ALL tabs and clear the entire history?

Since an update, I can no longer clear all my history... I cannot close a remaining tab. As much as thios has been my favorite browser, I am annoyed at the failure to protect privacy, and am considering deleting this entire program. Please give me a way to correct this and return to an earlier version.

To close the tab you're viewing, you can press Ctrl+w. Does that still leave an uncloseable tab? Is it a built-in page or a page on the web?
There are many methods to delete history in Firefox. Which is the one you're using to clear history? Is it one of these?
* Menu: History > Clear Recent History
* Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h): select entire list > right-click > Delete this page
In case you are having difficulties with regular vs. private browsing windows after the changes in Firefox 20, see whether this article helps: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].

How can I close the window on end of execution

I have a subVI that I call to scan incoming data. When I stop scanning,
I want the window to close and return to the front panel of the calling
VI. Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Dave,
If I get it correctly all you need to do is to follow steps below to get
rid of VI front panel after execution.
*-ON the Front Pannel go to VI Icon and right click.
* Select VI Setup.
* Select Execution Options
* click on Show front pannel when called
* click on close afterwards if originally closed.
Make sure to save your vi with some other name and try on it.
Rgds,
Hasan

How can we close the window using a button in applet?

I have a close button in my applet which should close the browser from where the application is launched. Can somebody post a sample code for doing the same?

I'm afraid I don't have any sample code, but I can describe a possible solution.
1. Retrieve the JSObject via Application.[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/Application.html#getHostServices%28%29]getHostServices().[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/HostServices.html#getWebContext%28%29]getWebContext()
2. Use the JSObject to manipulate the JavaScript into closing the Window.
