User create a new php project with the index.php file. She wants to run the project. She invokes Run project action. In the browser she obtains page with error File not found. User has to invoke Upload Files and then invoke Run action again. Then user do a change in the index.php file. She has to save the file, because the ide doesn't save php files before invoking actions like Run project... and it should. Invoke Run File action. She doesn't see the changes in the index.php file. She has to invoke Upload Files action, which is now asking, whether the IDE can rewrite already existing file (it was uploaded before). User has to click yes (if there is 10 files, the ide asks ten times or check checkbox "Apply for all". Then user can invoke action Run File or Run project to finally see the change. This workflow is not good. The 99.9% development will be done locally. Why we bother user with the uploading files and asking, whether the ide can rewrite the files on the server. The workflow has to be as much easy as it's possible. User should create a change in a file and invoke the Run file action. It's all.
uploading before run is planned for nb6.0 see issue 121770 user's decision in rewrite confirmation dialog now can be stored in global php options (but it should be shown for the first time - for cautious developers). not an issue any more Dialog can be redesigned to show list of files that should be rewritten. It should be another task and will be fixed after 6.0 result: new issue will be filed for dialog redesign. This will be closed as dup of issue 121770 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 121770 ***
