How can "Save All" button press be handled in Visual Studio Extensibility?

Question

I need to have some action performed when "Save All" button is pressed. If I subscribe to DocumentSaved event that event is invoked once for each unsaved document and this is kind of a problem because I'd rather have the action invoked for the documents collection instead of for each document separately.

Is it possible to handle "Save All" as a single action instead of handling multiple DocumentSaved events?

@JasonMalinowski: The action needs to be done for the bunch of documents as a whole, that's why. — sharptooth, Jan 24 '14 at 06:14
But what happens if I save a bunch of documents one at a time. Then what should you do? — Jason Malinowski, Jan 24 '14 at 18:01
@JasonMalinowski: Let's pretend this should be handled as separate saves. — sharptooth, Jan 27 '14 at 05:44

You can subscribe to the command execution events with the following code:

events = dte.Events;
commandEvents = events.get_CommandEvents(null, 0);
commandEvents.AfterExecute += OnAfterExecute;

In your OnAfterExecute handler you can check if it is the File.SaveAll command: VSConstants.VSStd97CmdID.SaveSolution.
