Cross-platform baseFolders options

[vkbansal]

First of all thanks for the amazing plugin.

I have a feature request.

As I work on on both MacOS and Windows and use Settings Sync plugin to keep my settings in sync, it would be nice to have an option in project manager for platform specific baseFolders.

Something like projectManager.git.baseFolders.windows for Windows
and projectManager.git.baseFolders.macos for MacOS. This can be extended for linux too.

Integrated terminal settings are already present in similar manner.

Thanks @vkbansal 👍 .

Integrated Terminal settings aren't exactly cross-platform. It's just a setting to you to choose the proper Shell for specific platform. I think you are asking something like microsoft/vscode#17619..

Do you need different settings for each platform because you have your projects in different folders? I mean, something like C:\MyGitProjects\ in Windows and ~/projects/ in MacOS? If yes, the problem is not related to the platform itself, but the machine that you use.

Please, fill more info so I could understand better your needs.

Hope this helps.

Yes I have E:\Projects on Windows and ~/Projects on MacOS.
How do I specify this in settings?

if I do

[
  "E:/Projects",
  "~/Projects"
]

will this work?

Update: I tried this but it does not work. It shows No projects saved yet! on Windows. I even tired refresh projects list option,

My bad this works correctly. I changed the settings to

[
 "E:\\Projects",
  "~/Projects"
]

and it works.

Thanks.

That's great! 🎉

You can have as many folders as you want, even if they don't exist in all computers. Doing so, the invalid folders will be ignored for that specific computer, but will work for the valid computers.
