Description
Bug description
When previewing a ipynb file in vscode, both render-on-save: false in the metadata and "quarto.render.renderOnSave": false in settings, are ignored. The preview is refreshing each time I save the notebook. This doesn't happen with qmd files.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a notebook
- Add a quarto header
- Set
editor: render-on-save: false - Set
"quarto.render.renderOnSave": falsein VSCode settings - Type some text in a markdown cell
- Save
Actual behavior
Preview is refreshed after save.
Expected behavior
Preview is refreshed upon request (e.g. C-S-k)
Your environment
macOS 26.3.1
VSCode 1.113.0
Quarto 1.130.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the save behavior in VSCode with an ipynb file, using both render-on-save settings described in the issue. Trace the notebook preview refresh path and compare it with qmd handling. Done means saving does not refresh the ipynb preview when either setting is false, while an explicit request still refreshes it.
