Update files silently (without opening them)

[chavlji]

It works great and again a big thanks for that!

It's just a bit annoying that it opens dirty files. If you refactor >20 files, it's a bit distracting.

Could we have some setting (or a separate command), to save all changes silently, without opening the files?

For now I'd rather not, as there are potential bugs that this would hide (see #2), so I'd like a bit of enforced verification that things are reasonable. In the future as this becomes more stable this might happen. That being said, I believe replace in the search viewlet does the same thing and I don't think there's an option to disable it (I could be wrong there).

Just a remark on search viewlet's behaviour:
It makes sense there, because otherwise user can't see each occurance anywhere else. But in case of your extension user has already checked the occurrences and changed only what he wanted... so there's no need for double checking.

I understand it's not there because of possible bugs, but maybe you could let user do decide... at least in the near future as you've said.

I really use this feature a lot and I have never encountered any errors though.

Plus it's easier to check if changes are correct using git diff tool, than checking 10+ files manually in vscode.

Any chance you could add this as an optional setting with a severe warning that it might produce errors and that it is the responsibility of the user if they toggle it on?

Isn't this fixed already? The files do not open for me when I run the command.
