Like the title says, using the latest version as of 5 minutes ago on the store and vscode 0.10.10 on Linux 64bit.

The suggested project name includes the whole path. Not just the root dir.

OS X using Insiders build.

is there any way to open multiple projects at the same time ? i mean multiple windows for different projects ? i tried but opening nothing

There seems to be an issue in the Insider version, that always calls the Stable.

I know it says so in the README, but I feel there should be a ticket for it.

Have you considered extending it to show all open VS Code sessions, and let me switch between those? I don't know off the top of my head whether an extension can know when the window is being closed. If not, the list could be "recently opened folders" or something.

I'd find both modes really useful - like cmd+alt+p to show my saved projects, ctrl+cmd+p to show all open windows.

vscode version: 1.3.1
OS: Ubuntu 14.04

I just updated to 0.8.2 today, all functionalities seem to be broken, keep saying "No project saved yet" even though I had a bunch previously.

Hi

I have been trying this plugin quite a bit however when I select a project from the list which I had saved 99% of the time nothing happens. There were times that it worked however generally it doesn't work for me.

I'm using Windows 10 (also Windows 7 at work) and both same issue.
I should have latest as of today of for this plugin and latest VS Code 0.10.11

Create Unit Test for the extension: It should cover all ts files, which are:

• extension.ts
• stack.ts
• sorter.ts
• storage.ts
• abstractLocator.ts
• vscodeLocator.ts
• gitLocator.ts
• svnLocator.ts

Also, move ts files for src folder, just like the new extensions structure:

• move ts files to src folder
• adjust package.json
• adjust launch.json
• adjust *.test.ts

Hi

Everything is in the title. When i list my projects and want to load one, click or enter does nothing

Platform : Mac Os X 10.11.3 , VSCode latest version, extensions up to date

List, edit and save. But stopped loading project.
Windows 10.

projects.json is dependent on the PATH of the vscode stable.

vscode stable:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/

vscode-insiders
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/

projectFile is hardcoded to "Code/User/projects.json".
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/" directory is not create to be to launch the vscode-stable.
need to support to insiders build.

https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-project-manager/blob/master/extension.ts#L18-L19

It does not come to mind a little good idea...

Mac OS X 10.11.3

when i have my projects on network folder, the project switch doesn't work correctly.

Example:
Folderpath: "\projects\webrepositories\projectname"

the exec looks like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd" "\\projects\webrepositories\projectname"

he is trying to open: "\projects\webrepositories\projectname" (it is missing a "" at the begin)

i have tried to resolve the problem with following solution (works with network folder and also local folders):
change line 142 from:
projectPath = normalizePath(projectPath);

to:
projectPath = surroundByDoubleQuotes(projectPath);

exec looks than like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd" "\projects\webrepositories\projectname"

os: windows 7
vscode: 0.10.8
projectmanager: 0.5.1

Remove projects that you no longer needs

Add new sortList called Recent

Sorry to raise this, but it doesn't seem to be functioning on
OSX with VS Code 0.10.12.

Procedure used:
F1 -> Project Manager : List Projects -> click on wanted project

I'd be happy to debug and help, but I'm not sure how.

Thanks

Add an item in the status bar, showing the name of the currently selected project.

I use the vscode integrated terminal to run commands ( webpack, gulp watch, ...) but when i switch projects those processes are unreachable (unless you close them with a task manager)
would it be possible to kill them when I switch project (also running a default command when i open a project would be cool)

When a project path is invalid (was renamed, moved, or wrongly typed), the user will receive messages showing Path does not exist, and will not open it.

To be more user friendly, the item should already be displayed differently (dimmed / error icon, etc) and when selected, it should ask the user to update the path, or remove it.

I've installed project manager on a pristine vscode-insider copy, and while running Project Manager: Edit Projects or Project Manager: List Projects, I only get the No projects saved yet! error. I manually created a file projects.json in the default directory, but no luck.

It used to work without any hitch earlier. I reinstalled vscode-insider into this new computer and am not able to get this plugin running at all.

Depends on:

• microsoft/vscode#396
• 🏃‍♂️ #47

If you try to use the Project Manager: List command with no active document, nothing happens. You must have at least one active text editor

If opening Code from Start Menu / TaskBar, switching projects does not work. It only works if Code is opened from Command Line.

Great extension! 👍

Having a lot of different projects to switch between (well over 100), I would love a feature that allows me to provide a path and have the extension automatically scan that recursively and add all folders with a .vscode subdirectory to the projects list. Perhaps the path(s) to scan could be entered in the projects.json some way, so the projects are updated automatically?

Hi

Just installed your extension with Code 1.5.3
When I try run Edit Projects, to edit Projects.json, it does not open the json file but rather just states "No projects saved yet"

What am i doing wrong? (Total nube i know)

i am in osx working

If I open Code using Window Shortcut (i.e. task icon or start menu icon), it runs code.exe and in that case, when I try to open project, it does not work.

If I start Code from command line, then it works.

Don't know if it is related to this:
microsoft/vscode#5064

Turns out that Project Manager causes this issue: microsoft/vscode#12709

If I uninstalled Project Manager - it is ok, as soon as I install - I get that issue.
Version: 0.10.0

I think it would be useful to have opend project history. And sometimes you open some temporary folder/project that you actually don't won't to save but it maybe needed to open it again, history would help much in this case.

what do you think?

Hey there, nice extension, i realy like it and use it much.
But thats my problem, i got so many projects thats it not easy to find the specific one on the first sight.

How about a new command like "Load" where you can type the first few letters, and the list is just showing Projects where the name starts with or contain "xyz"?

No need for seperate command list with the optional parameter "ProjectName contains $string" would be okay, too =)

what do you think about this?

1. Installed extension for the first time, and restarted.
2. Selected "Save Project".
3. Typed name and hit Enter.
4. Got the message "You must define a name for the project" (flagged as warning, though it's actually an error).
5. Nothing was saved.

Version 0.9.1 on VSCode 1.5.

The are some issues related with this one, but not seems the same goal.

• #43
• #46
• #47

I work in several projects that are related in some way. There are two frameworks with many sub projects, for example. I could say that I work in different contexts and the projects are differents in theses contexts, so it will be nice if I could change my current context and the projects availables in this context.

In other words, I am suggesting an project.json with this format:

[
  {
     "label": "awesome-framework",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "core",
          "description": "C:\\awesome-framework\core"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "ui",
          "description": "C:\\awesome-framework\ui"
       }
    ]
  },
  {
     "label": "wonderful-framework",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "core",
          "description": "C:\\wonderful-framework\core"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "ui",
          "description": "C:\\wonderful-framework\ui"
       }
    ]
  },
  {
     "label": "personal",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "resume",
          "description": "C:\\personal\resume"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "game",
          "description": "C:\\personal\game"
       }
    ]
  }

]

And, to usage, there will be another keyboard shortcut to change contexts. So I start my day, choose my context with alt+shift+c and along the day I can change my projects with alt+shift+p. Maybe I little bit crazy, but I think it will be useful for whom works in more than one company.

Instead of opening another Code instance, just switch the current.

I managed to get it working using the second approach in the README.

In Mac OS X, first try the same Windows approach.

really isn't that clear. Would be better with a clear example.

Allow to indicate the full path of Code app, in the case that code is not in PATH

Even you you follow the instructions for creating a soft link in Linux, it does not work.

Originally reported in #43

Auto-detect projects: Automatically update the projects list, based on scanning when you call `Project Manager: List".

I'm working on several projects during a day, and the possibility to switch between them is quite vital (thanks btw! 😄 ). I prefer to work on a single project at a time if I can, but a new feature might touch several of these projects so that I will need to have them all open in separate windows.

Thus, I would really like the ability to choose whether or not to open a new project in the current window, or in a new window, depending on whether the task I'm working on extends over several projects or not.
There's already the projectManager.openInNewWindow setting that partly solves the issue I'm having, but I would like to make this decision when I'm opening a new project.
I guess #50 could also solve the problem I'm having, but that might take a while.

Out of the top of my head I can come up with two different approaches to configure this (might also be beneficial with some new settings to configure whether you want this behavior or not):

1. A new shortcut, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+P that opens a new project in the same window, and Shift+Alt+P to open a new project in a new window (I prefer this).
2. A pop-up that asks whether to open in a new window or not (Intellij, as an example, does this by default).

What do you think?

Since it will be a native API (microsoft/vscode#5338) for opening Code instances with specific folders, it would be better to use this APIs instead of child_process.exec commands.

Your example configuratation uses
C:\\Program Files\\ ...

Maybe it is just me, but VS Code and VS Code Insiders are installed @ C:\\Program Files (x86)\\...
Nothing serious, but without an error message I was quite puzzled for some minutes.

p.s. love this extention! Thanks a lot.

Add a new command for specifically open a project in New Window, ignoring the projectManager.openInNewWindow setting.

The projects.json file structure must be refactored to support upcoming features like:

• #43 - Load project list from directory
• #46 - Support multiple folders in the same project
• #50 - Contextual Structure - Grouping

when setting the projects.json location you have the option to set that in the workspace settings in .vs instead of in the user settings. It would be nice to support relative paths from there so ./../ sets the projects.json in the root folder of the current project. If you have a flag projects.relative: true then you could store the project location relative to the projects.json file. The use case it would support: direct opening of git sub-modules inside and outside the current workspace environment. and the ability to save the current workspace project in the git repo so all collaborators can share the same projects setup. Let me know what you think. Great extension btw kudos.

In settings, the sorting possible values could be included in the comment.

For example:

// Project Manager Configuration

    // List the projects sorted by... (Saved, Name, Path, Recent)
    "projectManager.sortList": "Name",

Hi, I have Project Manage 0.4.1 installed on VS Code 0.10.8 for Mac. When I choose List Project in command pallete and confirm selected project by enter or by click, nothing happens.

If the project path has spaces, like C:\Temp\Another Folder, instead of opening the project, it will be added (created) two files, named Another and Folder to the current Code instance.

Saving a new project in v0.8.3, the label field is not populated in the newly created entry.

When you call Project Manager: List Projects, there is no need to show the current folder/project, since it will have no effect to select it.
