Any way to get Visual Studio to save the file before running an external tool?
visual-studio, visual-studio-2008
Solution
Get used to hitting Ctrl+S as often as possible, or even better in VS: Ctrl+Shift+S. `:)`
(Seriously. I'm so used to do this, Firefox regularly pops up its "Save As" dialog to save this website, because I hit Ctrl+S while typing my answers into SO.)
Problem
I've have a couple of external tools set up to run Doxygen for me, either on the currently displayed file, or the currently active project. What's annoying is, there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to save the file before running the tool. So I'll hammer in some Doxygen blocks, hit the hotkey to run Doxygen, flip over to Firefox to check the output, and, of course..... it's the previous version. Sigh. Any clues on how to get this to work in a nice way?
