One of the advantages of PHP is the ability to "simply save and run." Because we're storing PHP source files in the project tree that is kept under CVS, we are now requiring users to do a "deploy" phase, which I suspect will be unexpected and extra overhead for a lot of PHP developers. I understand the motivation behind this - we need to keep all project files together. But perhaps we could do a "background copy" of files to the deployment directory -- whenever someone saves a file in the project, we automatically copy the saved file to the deployment directory.
Ability to copy file to server's deployment directory was discussed as optional feature. It will be implemented, but will be turned off in options by default. Not to spend user's time and traffic by default. This was decided as not highly important for 6.0 because of automatic files copying on 'Run Project/File' command invocation.
I would have to agree that this is a big bug from the perspective of jMaki users. The whole process of uploading on every file save is very tedious and takes time. The Ruby and JSP web application plugins allow for files to be updated on save. This should be possible with the PHP applications as well.

auto-deleting of files deleted in project was suggested in issue 124758. suggestion looks risky but reasonable.
obsolete
