The 'Never join lines' option from bug 198074 is fantastic and makes me want to start using Format on Save.

There's just one caveat: I don't want Format on Save to touch my line breaks, but when I edit some code and then manually select and format it, the formatter should join lines. But I can just have one formatter profile per project.

I think this is the only formatter option for which it makes sense to enable it in the formatter profile for manual formatting but disable it for save actions.

Could we add a 'Never join lines' checkbox to the Save Actions preference page?

I see the two cases but am not sure it is really tied to save vs. manual format.
