Preview projects in the Finder

Every Logic Pro project includes a preview image, so that you can view the contents of a project
in the Finder using Quick Look, without having to open the project. The image is updated each
time the project is saved to show the current state of the project.

Preview a project with Quick Look
Do one of the following:

m

Select a project file in the Finder, then press the Space bar.

m

Browse to a project file in the All Files Browser, then choose Quick Look from the Action
pop-up menu.

m

Browse to a project file in the All Files Browser, Control-click the file, then choose Quick Look
from the shortcut menu.

A thumbnail image of the selected project file is displayed in Quick Look, together with a list of
project alternatives.

Close projects

You can close the active project when you want to stop working on it.

Close the currently active project

m

Choose File > Close Project (or press Option-Command-W).

If you have made any changes since the last Save operation, Logic Pro prompts you to save the
project before closing.

Important:

The Close Project without Saving key command closes the currently active project

without saving it—and you will not be asked to do so. This command was included at the
request of many experienced Logic Pro users. Only use it if you’re sure that this is what you want
to do.
