Beta Beta v3 B8 - resaving files on build.

[MotoMusher]

v3 has been doing this since the first version of the beta, and I just installed 8 and it does the same.

When building a project, v3 re-saves all files in the project. This was not the behavior I experienced in previous releases. It's certainly not a big deal, but TortiseSVN for example marks all files as out of date at each run, where previously, only modified files were marked, and it made source control very easy to track change history. It made source control a lot easier.

I will go through some of the other items I have found with rapid debugger for B8 to see if they have changed before posting them.

Overall, I really like it, minor problems with rapid debugger and this file re-save aside.

I will check it. Note that currently there aren't any open bugs. Don't worry about posting issues that were already posted.

It is much better than not posting an existing issue. The stable version is planned to be released on Sunday.

Thanks Erel. With rapid debugger, I get somewhat "rogue" errors that stop the build on invalid syntax (don't have a specific example at the moment). It seems to most frequently around long strings, like sqllite statements, and subs with senders (though I only saw that once). I just switch to legacy mode and it builds fine, then switch back to rapid, and it builds fine so I have just worked around it. I didn't realize there were subsequent beta updates, so I was on the first release until v8 today.

Other than that, I really like it, and find rapid debugger very useful.

If you encounter any error with the rapid debugger and beta #8 then post it here or contact me by mail.

About the saving issue. I don't think that the behavior has changed. If the option Tools - IDE Options - Auto Save is checked then all of the modules are saved. Even if they were not changed. This is the same behavior as before.

Will do. For the re-save all files, since there are multiple ways to build, my habit is to hit ctrl+f5. Same thing happens on Win2008 server (my pc) and windows 8 (my laptop) if that helps.

Missed your last post. I just tried it again with your suggestion of turning off auto save. After turning it off, I added a space to "main" and compiled with rapid debugger. No files updated, i don't usually hit save, so I don't think I had that option set before. With auto-save off, I then hit the save icon in the toolbar, and all files updated timestamp.

I understand the issue. However I don't think that the previous behavior was different. It was always saving all of the files when you saved the project.
