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".
(In reply to comment #4) > > > Which kind of editors? Do you open two different files > > jsp, yes Does this happen when you edit .txt or .java files as well? And which JSP editor do you use? Is it from WTP?
