Stop Visual Studio asking for each project: has been modified outside the environment. Do you wish to reload?

Do you wish to reload the project? Where's the Reload All option. Vote for this question and hopefully MS will implement a fix in VS2020.

With pleany of projects in a solution I for one dread doing an svn update.

This has been an issue from VS2003 but after a decade of clicking mindlessly on buttons it's getting on my wick.

Does anyone have a hack / registry entry / secret way of saying yes short of saying ignore (quick), closing and reloading the solution?

DetectFileChangesOutsideIDE

Get/Set (Boolean)

Determines whether the environment automatically reloads files opened in the IDE when the operating system notifies the IDE that the files have been modified on disk.

EDIT: Some clarification, as that page isn't immediately obvious.

Tools Menu->Options -> Environment->Documents->Uncheck Detect when file is changed outside the Environment
