I don't propose a preference setting, that context would be too broad.
Confirming a dialog box each time after pressing Next/Previous is also inconvenient when editing multiple items in a row. Maybe the checkbox can be integrated into this confirmation dialog to enable the implicit "Apply" action for all subsequent Next/Previous interactions until the properties dialog is closed.
