Mac Preview Question

[police340]

Hello,
How do you prevent Max Preview from opening last image viewed? If i look at a new image, it always opens up last image I looked at first. I find this annoying. Thanks, Bill

Is this on Lion? I.e. OS X 10.7?

By default all apps will restore on Lion so you need to close the open documents not just quit the app. I usually hit command W several times before hitting command Q.

You can also disable this feature by default in system preferences.

On the other hand, if you're one of those people who do not find this annoying (like me ) I left the feature on, but when you do need an app to not restore, you can use CMD+ALT+Q

And note that this is a system wide setting and applies to all apps, not just Preview.

You're right, but I prefer the CMD+W method only because it lets me see what was open and I find it much easier to type. I find most keystrokes that take more than one modifier key to type to be a bit of a pain, while I use CMD+single key very easily and frequently.
