I highlight all (on the left side-bar) and size-adjust multiple images in Preview, then Save. BUT when I try to close the Preview window I am frustratingly prompted to Save each and every image (to close the Preview window) which should have been bulk-adjusted in size/orientation/whatever. There is no 'Save All' option. Only seems to have started doing this with the Sierra upgrade. Snow Leopard was fine. Anyone else notice this? Any solution? Thanks.

P.S. I checked the many Youtube videos for this simple operation but my Mac simply does not follow their routine and simple procedure. What could this glitch be caused by?
 
Perhaps the images were deselected. Try reselecting them (or use ⌘ + A for all of them) and trying Save again. Works on Sierra for me.

If all else fails, if you have all the images highlighted in Preview you should be able to see "Export Selected Images..." slightly past the "Save" option. Should work as well.

I still don't get it. I select all, resize all, save all (I tried both the 'File' drop-down box, alt (option) key & cmd-key) ... then try to close the preview window ... but it prompts me to save each and every file, one by one, until it will finally close the box. With a lot of files this takes ages!

It seems not to be acting as it should and as YouTube videos instruct. Is there any further action I could take, short of booking in with an Apple shop for assessment? Thanks.
 
You might need to schedule the appointment as both save and export work for me and based on the youtube videos everyone else.
