Does 'the last saved version on disk' make sense?

When would it ever not be the last saved version (unless you have a funky filesystem that automatically saves backup versions)?

I expect never: what you've written is correct, I'm just wondering whether we can make the message even more obvious.
1. Clicking on query history menu items when nothing is selected. Error message is clearer. It would be better to disable when nothing is selected, but waiting on microsoft/vscode#99767 to be released. 2. Trying to run query with a missing or invalid qlpack has better message. 3. Better hover text for "Open query". Co-authored-by: Aditya Sharad <[email protected]>
