MonoDevelop and Perforce - multiple save prompts issue

I thought it best to add a Perforce version control server to my files.
I am regretting rushing headlong in to this.

Downside/issue/bug - possibly just for Macs..
I am getting THREE 'are your really sure you want to save' prompts after ever edit on every document. And I cannot okay these with keyboard alone.

I don't have a fix, but my current attempted solution is to stop using Perforce... which doesn't seem to work. I am still prompted to save each item. Three times.

Solution - to stop the prompts from occurring ever more

After a bit of trial and error I've devised an approach. Sadly this involves not using Perforce. (I will later try and get this working, but for now, here's a way out).


  1. In MonoDevelop choose to compile. This is resulting in the 'Save (file) as...' dialog appearing -- the issue which I want to suppress. 
  2. Delete the original file via the file system
  3. Click 'Save' to the dialog in (1)
Voila. Dialog stops appearing on every single save.
