Making OS X's Preview and Quicktime Less Annoying

Product discussion at Apple:

“Guys, we need 250 new features for the next release. What do you have for me?”

“Here’s something: let’s open up ALL the files from the user’s previous session when the user decides to launch apps like Preview or Quicktime”

“Why Bob, that’s a brilliant idea!”

“Improving on what Bob said, let’s NOT give them the option to turn this behaviour off!”

“Alright, let’s make it happen. 1 down, 249 to go.”

Run the following in your Terminal to prevent Preview (and/or Quicktime) from opening up all the windows from your previous session:

1
2
3
4
defaults write com.apple.Preview \
NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX \
NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
