I remember there was some discussion about saving everything when I started the build system changes. I don't remember why it wasn't done. Can anyone think of a reason to not save all files? If no one can then I'll consider it a bug.
What if you didn't want all the files saved? I think it's safe to save the current file as the user is currently looking at it. But they may have modified other files they haven't decided to save yet.
Well until the Geany mind reading module is perfected... :-)
I guess the usual answer, add a preference setting. I really find it a @#$%^ nuisance when I forget to save all the files I want to compile :-(
I don't think it's a good pref for Geany to save all open files. This pref is perhaps better suited only for files in the current project's path.
Well, it should be at least the tree, not just the path, but the reason for the grouch above was that I had just done it *again*, and all I had was one .hpp and one .cpp, no project in sight.
In other words, I don't think its just project related, people who don't use projects are just as likely to make the mistake.
I totally understand your intention behind, but not sure either whether its an good idea to save all session files at all. Shift-Ctrl-s is already doing something like this. Whether another option can help here I doubt, but why not. At least somebody has to build it ;)
