Close all chapters without saving

2008-07-17 Thread John Sgammato
Inspired by Yves'request:

 is there a plug-in or framescript available somewhere which allows you
to open all files in book while ignoring all missing files and fonts
in book?

I'd love to find a plugin that allows me to CLOSE all files in a book
without saving them, essentially abandoning a book.

Hi John,

Such a plug-in would be easy to write. It also sounds like a sure-fire  
way to get lots of hate mail when it performs exactly as designed.  
Software dutifully follows the actions of the user, whereas the user  
expects the software to follow his intentions.

FileTools does this .. although it closes all open files, not just those 
in a particular book.

It does warn you twice before performing this action, just to be sure. 
No hate-mail yet!  :)

Perhaps if said plugin were activated by the Shift-Alt-F File menu, listed just 
below Close All Files in Book, the feared hate mail might be minimal.  ;-)

IMO calling it something like Abandon Changes and Close Book would help
to set expectations.

Hi John,

You don't really need a plug-in -- a few keystrokes will do the trick in 
a matter of seconds.  You already know Step 1:

1. In the Book window, activate File  Close All Files in Book
(Esc f C   or   Alt + Shift + F  c).

2. Press and hold the N key until the last of the confirmation dialog
boxes disappears.

You're done.

HTH,
