Compile on save compiles document opened first rather than the current one about latex-workshop HOT 5 CLOSED

You can use the new compile_here command to re-assign your root tex file. The command is available in version 0.2.16.

How would one enable this by default (i.e. after save)?

The extension receives an overhaul since version 1.0.0+. You may try it out first and submit new issues if any.

Yeah @zachjweiner I'm not clear what you are asking for here, I believe this should now be the current behaviour. To be clear, each time you change file we reassess what the root tex file should be, and if we have nothing else to go on we would select the current tex document, so what you ask for should work? Is it not doing that? If so a concrete example would be very helpful, but please do so in a new issue.

I'm sorry, I was doing something stupid and couldn't tell that it was my fault rather than the extension. Working great, thank you so much.
