Build Identifier: 20110301-1815

i edit two files and need to save only one.
when hitting "ctrl+s" a dialog pops up
"Save and Launch"
asking to save the other file.
there's a checkbox "always save before launching" -- but i don't launch anything!

it's rather annoying to have such a popup always interrupting my workflow, but i fail to understand 
a) why that happens all of a sudden, with files not launchable at all, no server or application running at all
b) where to disable this behaviour, be it in preferences or by way of "do not ask again"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open two editors
2. edit in both
3. save one

Are you using 4.1 as indicated in the version field? 

> 1. open two editors
Which kind of editors? Do you open two different files?

> 2. edit in both
> 3. save one
Does the dialog also appear if you use File > Save instead of Ctrl+S?

just, accidentially, found out, it is triggered by having enabled

project -> build automatically 

which makes "launching" more clear.
a clear information which kind of launch is attempted would tsill help, though.
and i was always thinking

project -> build automatically 

only affects the project in which i enabled that checkbox -- turns out, it affects _all_ projects ... but that's another issue.

Correct, this is a global setting i.e. 'Build Workspace Automatically'.

The bigger question is who/what is launched on "save".

     Does this happen when you edit .txt or .java files as well? And which JSP editor do you use? Is it from WTP?

well, most likely some custom builder i defined (does nothing but find property files and copy them to WEB-INF/classes/)

Adding an additional builder (Ant Builder or Program) should not trigger to save - unless of course the custom builder itself implements this.

Sorry, this is only true for builders registered as 'Ant Builder'. If one registers a 'Program' then save is triggered.
