[karrtikr]

Are you referring to this?

It only applies to "Task" as per description.

[profRidha]

@karrtikr ; Yes that's it ;
I explain the problem again :
if I interpret a python script (by clicking on the button "Run Python File in Terminal") I always have a window that asks me to save my file! except that the latter is already saved and the "Save Before Run" option is on "always" ! ("ctrl + F5" still works)
to note that no problem for earlier versions (<= 2023.9.11241009)

[karrtikr]

I understand, although "Save before run" option only applies when running "Tasks" (defined in tasks.json). Running Python files is not a task, so that setting does not apply here.

to note that no problem for earlier versions (<= 2023.9.11241009)

Although we can try to revert to this behavior you described, whcih should work for you. Marking this as a bug.
