Save before run

Ability to save before run bat file

[nils-soderman]

I like the idea, will look into adding it for the next update!

[nils-soderman]

With the 1.2.0 release you can now set the setting

{
    "batch-runner.saveFileBeforeRun": true
}

to automatically save the batch files before running them.

Is there a reason you didn't make this the default? As far as I know, that's the behaviour in the vast majority of code editors. I can't personally think of any reason why someone would want an easy way to run the current file without making sure it's saved first. I also just think it's more intuitive for an easy command to run the file the user is looking at to run the version of it they're looking at (including any unsaved changes) (i.e. save it first).

Hi,

No, no real reason, chose to default it to false just because that was the current behavior of the extension.
But you raise some valid points, and I agree that we should default this to true instead.

With the latest release (1.3.0) batch-runner.saveFileBeforeRun now defaults to true.
Thanks for the suggestion!
