Description strata_ranger 2016-04-06 21:36:59 UTC 
Any time you are about to close multiple images (e.g. "Close All" or "Exit GIMP" commands) GIMP uses a variation of the unsaved changes prompt that shows a list of open images and your available options are Discard All Changes or Cancel.

However, in the case that only one image window was open, this prompt is not so useful and GIMP should instead display the single-image unsaved changes prompt (e.g. save/discard/cancel).

This occurs notably more often when running GIMP in single-window mode, as closing that window results in exiting GIMP.

I don't think we should shortcut to the "close image" dialog in such
a case. IMO we should rather close this a duplicate of bug 706309 too
and implement save buttons in the quit dialog.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2016-04-09 17:08:23 UTC 
Thinking again, we cannot shortcut to the "close image" dialog even
if we wanted. One could dirty other images while the dialog is
open, and they would appear in the list. Closing as duplicate.

...even though only one image window was open?

Though it is true the dialog box isn't modal, so the user could potentially do any number of things before addressing it...
