Add "Same for all" checkbox when closing unsaved tabs

[ianrrees]

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.

related, but for reloading externally modified files: #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
