Unsaved images are closed by CLOSE ALL VIEWS if saved as TIF but not closed if saved as JPG

I had 4 images open.  Lets say their names are:

** A.jpg
** B.jpg
** C.jpg
and
** D.jpg

I counted / measured a number of objects in each image and made a SORTED OBJECTS image for each of the original images so PREMIER was displaying

** A.jpg
** B.jpg
** C.jpg
** D.jpg
** Sorted A.jpg
** Sorted B.jpg
** Sorted C.jpg
** Sorted D.jpg

but the sorted images have not been saved yet.

When I pressed CLOSE ALL VIEWS, PREMIER asked me

    DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CHANGES . . .

with

** YES
** YES TO ALL
** NO
** NO TO ALL
** CANCEL

I pressed YES (or YES TO ALL) and a prompt for the file name(s) to use for a SAVE was displayed.  If the FILE TYPE for the SAVE(S) was TIF, then the SORTED images are all saved and closed.  If the FILE TYPE for the SAVE(S) was JPG, then ORIGINAL images were closed but the SORTED images were saved but all remained open.

Is there an option within PREMIER that resolves this?

Thanks.

Matt,

The reason this is happening is that we don't consider JPG as a proper archiving format (because it loses information) and consequently the documents remain "modified" even after they have been saved to JPG. So your best option is to use a non lossy format instead.

Thank you for the explanation of this behavior.

Please consider:

** putting a message within this procedure that explains why the image stays open
** a PREMIER option that would ignore the file format difference
** a second layer to the mechanism that would save the user from having to:
**** CLOSE ALL VIEWS
**** YES TO ALL
**** SAVE AS + TYPE = JPG (x No. of Modified Images)
**** CLOSE ALL VIEWS
**** NO TO ALL

Thanks.
