It should only clear if you've set clear.before.execute but I see what you mean. Maybe have a clears screen flag on each job which is only set on the first if you are adding both a build and go. > However that is not the point of this email.

The go.needs feature was added back when SciTE was really a single document editor.

Perhaps a lastBuiltTime for each buffer which could be compared against the file time which would be updated if the file was dirty and thus saved before running. > Any suggestions, including that I'm wasting a lot of time of a trivial > issue, is welcome. go.needs could be removed for simplicity but I think its a good feature for simple programs.
