Add "Same for all" checkbox when closing unsaved tabs
1. Explain briefly what the enhancement is and why you think it would be useful.
When I open ST, I fairly frequently am presented with a set of several tabs open, which ST thinks have edits*. In that situation, I would like to close all the tabs, without saving any of them. Currently, this requires one dialog click per open file.
It would be nice if there were a checkbox that would apply that answer to subsequent files. Eg, when I do "close all files" and have 10 tabs open and edited, on the first one I would like to indicate "Do not save any of these".
*This comes about, due to a weird NFS mounted project situation, where the file server sometimes dies and there's doesn't seem to be a clear "right way" for ST to handle the situation.
2. Provide any other necessary or useful information regarding your issue, such as (code) examples or related links.
Environment
- Operating system and version:
- Mac OS 10.12.6
- Sublime Text:
- Build 3.0 Build 3143
related, but for reloading externally modified files: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1666
This is still a huge problem. I've ran find'n'replace on a temporary folder, and now I'm stuck with 2000 tabs individually asking to save changes, and the whole application has become permanently is unusable.
@kornelski I think you can also just delete "the" session file. On a Mac, it's located at
/Users/raoulwols/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Local/Session.sublime_session
This also applies to the case where one wants to save all files in a “Close All Files” action. If one forgets to do “Save All” first, the user is forced to click “Save” for all open, unsaved files which could be many after a "Replace in files" for example.
@ianrrees There is "hot_exit": false, but please do read the information/warning about it in the default preferences before use.
The implemented solution should differentiate between
- "open" files that no longer exist on disk
- open files that still exist on disk
@kornelski I think you can also just delete "the" session file. On a Mac, it's located at
/Users/raoulwols/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Local/Session.sublime_session
On Linux, deleting ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/Session.sublime_session did the trick.
As Keith Hall pointed out to me, there is a plugin that does this beautifully
