LESS Editing - Add Missing Vendor Specifics - Reformats Document

[jason-e-gross]

If I choose an element, like transition for example - and select the hint, "Add Missing Vendor Specifics" - it does it - but then re-formats the entire document.

Specifically, it puts extra lines between each LESS declaration. I spend enough time making my layout readable to me - without a chunk of code that's supposed to do one thing - impose its idea of a layout across the entire document. If I wanted to keep that hint action, I have to walk through and re-format to the way I like it.

I'd prefer if WE just did the micro-task at hand- and no more than that micro-task.

You shouldn't be hand-inserting vendor specifics if you're writing Less. You should be using the autoprefixer post-processor plugin for the Less compiler instead and automate it as part of your build step.

(Not sure if Web Essentials was ever extended to support registering plugins; I rolled my own build solution for Less files because the Web Essentials method of having compiled output be part of the project files under source control is asinine.)
