Finally a solution to that Preview problem that I've had also. The command + W works great.
Thanks for that one.
Thanks for that one.
After a few days of searching, this resolved my issue.WOW, well, following this "procedure" I've solved the problem in empiric way.
I've opened finder "go to" pressing OPT in order to switch to Library, than I've searched for all related preview files simply using spotlight on Library, and erased all .plist and .lockfile and all the content of com.apple.Preview.savedState folder.
I've tried to re-open Preview and finally all works!!!
I've switched from PC to iMac just 2 weeks ago, this is my first fight with the machine, and I WON! I'm happy (but I need little to be...)
Hope it could help who have the same problem.

It's funny how after so many years, people still don't get how OSX apps work.
There's no need to ever quit preview. If you're done looking at one document, you close it (Cmd-W).
The resume feature just builds on the above. It's actually quite convenient because you can reboot without closing apps, and you can exactly restore the session where you left off.
Maybe it's the user that doesn't know that Apple gives he/she the OPTION to simply turn that feature off in preferences rather than wasting so much steam on a forum.
There are ways to disable Auto-resume: but I suspect that future versions of OS X will not allow disabling. So best to get used to it now.
You think this is the first time that a fundamental metaphor of GUI has changed, in the 40 years since it was invented?I've been using OS x and Preview for donkey's years.
I don't think it is intuitive at all to have to change an application behaviour that is different from the earlier versions
Instead of cmd+Q, use cmd+opt+Q. This will prevent programs (ALL) to open previous windows(Documents, Pictures, etc.)
