In Dream Maker, project files stay open in memory while you edit other files. Sometimes, in large projects, this results in memory failures where there just isn't room to load a new file. It's a pain to go back and find all of the open files and manually File>Close them, so I'm proposing a File>Close All feature that will automatically close all open files (ideally prompting to save changes).

A workaround that I frequently use is File->Recent Environments->1. That unloads and reloads your current project, leaving only the last-opened file in memory.

Agreed! this frequently causes DM to crash because too many icon files and such get opened.
