Create Always Save plug-in #4

Closed vogella closed 9 years ago

vogella commented 9 years ago

IntelliJ performs save automatic. Wie should write a plug-in which does the same.

SimonScholz commented 9 years ago

You mean setting a certain delay and then save?

vogella commented 9 years ago

Delay sounds reasonable. Maybe trigger save all after 500 ms if something goes dirty. Am 13.11.2014 21:07 schrieb "Simon Scholz" notifications@github.com:

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace and there you can check "Save automatically before build" + "Build automatically" is there but does not seems to work.

vogella commented 9 years ago

Seems to exist already.

But I see no licence for it. If it is not EPL or Apache we cannot use it. I would like to see a Smart Save button in the toolbar, if selected all dirty editors should be saved automatically

I had a quick look at http://mystilleef.github.io/eclipse4-smartsave/ and I think it much more complex than needed for this task. I try to write a small model add-on for this task.

I have this wonderful and simple idea to use @CanExecute for saving but I will do this in a different project. Saneclipse should remain about preference defaults and templates
