I'd like to buy this plugin, but the main thing I'm looking for is the ability for it to compile all relevant LESS files if an included file is saved -- while not compiling the child file. For example, I have a files main.less that imports _child.less. I make a change to _child.less, I want main.less to compile to main.css. I do not need _child.css, nor do I want to have to open and save main.less by itself. Using the Web Essentials from Microsoft, I need to compile the main.less file myself; and annoying extra step. |

Yes, when we detect a file is used as an import in another file that file is recompiled at the same time, so saving a child will compile the parent/grand-parent etc. By default we dont compile files which are prefixed with an underscore as this is a standard convention in Less and Sass for included files which dont need to be compiled, otherwise you can control compilation on a per file basis via the Web Workbench Settings (right click on your project node in Visual Studio and select Web Workbench Settings to open the dialog).
