Description _ tboudreau 1999-11-21 00:04:47 UTC 
With most applications, including the IDE, when you have a bunch of files open, you get a dialog for each one asking if you want to save changes.

A better solution to this would be:
A dialog appears that says something like :
   "These files have been modified.  Check off which files you want saved:"
Below this is a scrolling checkbox-list of all the open files.  Save All and Save None buttons are provided as well.

talking about the same enhancement in general.

taking this one.
Comment 14 mslama 2003-12-01 09:15:34 UTC 
I think it is solved in new window system by Documents dialog. It
allows saving of multiple documents simultaneously.

Another case when IDE is exited is solved by Save dialog.
Comment 15 Rochelle Raccah 2003-12-04 01:23:29 UTC 
I don't think so - open 2 files in the editor and edit them both.  
Next, choose the new Close All Documents menu options from the Window 
menu.  You're prompted with 2 save/discard/cancel dialogs instead of a 
 summary one.
Comment 16 David Simonek 2005-04-28 15:48:12 UTC 
My god, still valid...
Comment 17 David Simonek 2005-04-28 15:52:28 UTC 
Updating summary.
Comment 18 Ondrej Langr 2008-09-12 18:06:07 UTC 
This seems to be fixed. 

Closing, please reopen if you think i'm wrong.
