do not count opening file as a change
Currently when you open a file and you want to close immediately there is a question dialog if the user want to save changes. But there were no changes made.

Re: do not count opening file as a change
When you open a file, Audacity wants to start a new project. It's not asking if you want to save changes to the file; it's asking if you want to save the changes to your new project.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like bananas.

Nevertheless the question in such case could be spared. Opening project and opening a file takes the same amount of time and clicks. There is no gain there, but there is a loss -- user has to click every time to confirm his decision when closing.

Example: you have to merge 200 files, in that way you merge first 10 as 1, next ten as second, and so on. How do you do this? Copy&paste? Then you have to click 190 times without any reason.
Bottom line is -- this question is no gain (in the case described previously), quite vice versa, thus --> this wish.
(*) and I don't see anything wrong in opening file, listening to it, realizing it is not the one, and closing it.
