Prevent Designer Re-Load on Module Update

Is there any way to prevent a designer for forcibly restarting if we push a module updates? I'd rather assume the risk of having an out of date designer if I'm only working on updates to the gateway scope...

No, the designer is not equipped to determine what has changed and only restart if "safe".

If your designer is launched with an explicit version flag of dev (-Dscadarail.version=dev in 8.1, -Dignition.version=dev in 8.3) the designer will ignore its typical module version/update related checks. Just be very aware of the risks of weird things happening.

Hmmm. I may start using this.

Ooh, this will be nice when working on Perspective components.
