It seems to be a new behavior in Lion but here is what is happening for me:
- I open a video file
- Quicktime launches and play the video
- When I'm done, I hit CmdQ
Now, with Lion, when opening another video the same way, it opens but the previously opened one also…
To avoid this I have to do a CmdW before my CmdQ.
I suppose it's linked to the General System Preference Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps.
If so, is there a way to deactivate it for some of the apps and not globally (as I must admit it's quite handy in other applications)?

The shortcut CmdOptQ is for "Quit and Discard Windows" which will quit the app 'the old way', and not reopen the windows the next time it's launched. So if you only need to suppress this functionality some of the time, this is a good shortcut to know.
