- The <span class="guimenuitem">Close</span> command closes the active image and
- removes its window. Closing an image is not undoable: once it is
- closed, everything is gone, including the undo history. If the image
- is not “<span class="quote">clean</span>” — 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, it can't hurt to save a
- copy as an <a class="link" href="glossary.html#gimp-file-save-xcf">XCF</a> file.
