The
command closes the active image.It is disabled if no image is open.Closing an image is not undoable: once it is closed, everything is gone, including the undo history. If the image is not «clean» — that is, if you have changed it since the last time you saved it — you are asked to confirm that you really want to close it. Note that an image is marked as clean when it is saved to a file, even if the file format chosen does not preserve all the information in the image, so it is a good idea to think for a moment about what you are doing before closing an image. If there is the slightest possibility that you will regret it, save the file (automatically in the XCF file format since GIMP-2.8).
You can access this command from the image menu through
→ ,у неё также есть клавиша быстрого доступа:Ctrl+W.
For most systems on which the GIMP runs, you can also execute it by clicking on a «Close» button somewhere on the image window titlebar. The location and appearance of this button are determined by the windowing system and the window manager. If no image is open, clicking on this button closes GIMP.
