• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.8.0-insider (2abfc20, 2016-12-13T09:48:23.832Z)
• OS Version: Darwin x64 16.3.0

It would be great if VSCode could auto start watch tasks when the project/folder (that has .vscode/tasks.json in it) gets opened - (maybe setting autoStart: true in tasks.json)

Many times (especially being on insiders which frequently asks to restart - sometimes more than once a day) I find myself forgetting to start TS Watch task - and scratching my head why the changes made in code are not being reflected.

Combined with watch task indicator would be very helpful - #8513
