Saving new file to directory with other files, then compile #17

Description

@technobly

When just typing in a new program from scratch, then going to save it somewhere, if you save it in a directory full of other files it will try to compile all of those files. Perhaps a solution is to force the new file to be saved in an encapsulating directory with the same name as the file you are creating? Sound familiar? Yeah, the Arduino IDE does this. I guess it's a common problem.

I understand why arduino may do this, but I still never liked that you are forced to keep them the same name. That restriction wouldn't be absolutely necessary as we can currently compile one or more files from any named directory, but the question would be how to manage it? If it's just something you have to know, fine... but then how can we generate some helpful error messages or helpful suggestions while saving a "new" file or GUI cues.
