When the "Format XAML on save" option is enabled, saving all (Ctrl+Shift+S) should only process unsaved modified XAML files

[peterM]

There is defect when i save all documents or use (Ctrl+Shift + S).
I expect to format only unsaved || opened documents and not all documents with *.xaml extension in solution.

[phraemer]

Yeah. This means I have to uninstall it. Too much noise otherwise.

This is definitely a pain point, though it can be easily mitigated in the short term by disabling the "Format XAML on save" option. There are a number of feature requests that should improve this experience overall:

• Support right-click to format on files and folders in solution explorer #56: Support right-click to format on files and folders in solution explorer
• Format Selection  #67: Format Selection
• Make 'Format XAML on save' setting default to False #95: Make 'Format XAML on save' setting default to False
• Hide the "Format XAML" option outside of the XAML editor #132: Hide the "Format XAML" option outside of the XAML editor

I would consider this a bug on the "Format XAML on save" option (i.e., not intended behavior). Formatting all files is covered by #56.

Edit: Updated issue title for clarity.

You could Merge at least new Filter from #144
x.Where(d=> d.Window !=null)
What will filter out documents what are not opened. And i think this additional Where() solve issue of this issue.

[grochocki]

Fixed via #220 -- should only format opened documents now.

This issue occurs after I updated XamlStyler to version 3.2003.9.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any .xaml file
2. Click Save All button

Actual behavior: all xaml files in the solution are formatted

Why is this closed? Apparently, it's still an issue in 2022.

Upper is my code what solved the problem in my case. :) .. if i remember correctly i cloned repo and built extension with my fix and stopped use official extension :)

[LoriBru]

Thank you for the info :) I just wonder why this is not fixed as well in the official extension version!

[NicoVermeir]

looks like we lost track of this one. thanks for the reminder folks, we'll look into it!
@peterM thanks for the suggestion, we'll look into your code snippet to see if it fixes this issue without raising additional ones :)

Yes, I have to stop using this on my team. Because we have 20 xaml files, and and everytime someone asks to save all unsaved documents, this extension rewriting every Xaml file. Why is this issue closed? This should be re-opened since this has been occurring again since 2022.
