Suggestion: timed question to start all servers at startup

nullart

It would be a good idea to have a timed question to start all servers at startup. Would be good to have if we have to make a new site prior to starting all servers.

What do you think?

Indigo

I agree, that's a great idea. I lean towards the idea of an option in the settings, called something like "When Indigo launches":

"Restart previously running stacks"
"Do not restart stacks"
and perhaps "Restart stacks after a delay"

Your thoughts? I suspect some users would be unsure how the delay option would be useful; in that light would just the first two options suffice in your scenario?

The simplest is adding a check mark on settings for "Restart previously running stacks". If unchecked, it will not restart the stacks after start up.

The 30 second (depending on option) timer can be enabled when the above option is checked. The purpose of this, is to cancel the startup of stacks if we really need to (ie. new idea and have to create a new stack, changed mind and need to do something else). otherwise, we leave the startup and let the countdown start the stack while also opening other dev apps.

It's a small update that helps a lot when you have too much on your mind.

Cheers!

This sounds like a great addition!
Was thinking along those lines recently.
For me the first two options would suffice.

Hey @nilsmielke, thanks for your interest in this. I do have a proof-of-concept implemented and it should appear in the next release. I've got some new services also planned for that release, so it will be a little way off yet. Thanks for your patience!
