How to add Workspace within project

[zymr-keshav]

vc code v 1.29.1

vscode-project manager v 10.0.0

mac os v 10.13.6 High Sierra

I have added my project folder using add new project and here is my projects.json file content right now

[
	{
		"name": "Alpha",
		"rootPath": "/opt/alpha/client/",
		"paths": [],
		"group": ""
	}
]

But before using this extension, I was working with my project using workspace (alpha) and I have configured workspace settings

Now whenevr I open the project using siderbar, it always notifiy in bottom right side of vs code

This folder contains a workspace file alpha.code-workspace'. Do you want to open it? Learn more about workspace files.

and when I click yes it opens that workspace but then what is the usage of this extension?

Can we add workspace setting along with project

Hi @zymr-keshav ,

If I remember correctly, this message appears whenever you open a folder that contains a .code-workspace file inside. So, this has nothing to do with the Project Manager extension.

The idea of this extension is help you easily switch between projects that you previously saved or are auto-detected, but not necessarily already opened (so, it won't be in Recent files).

• Saved Projects: You will save your Favorite projects, and have easy access at any time
• Auto-detected Projects: The extension auto-detects Git, Mercurial, SVN repositories, based on base folders, and also any other VSCode project (which contains .vscode folder inside) or Any folder.

Unfortunately, there is no VSCode API to access a Workspace file path, that's why #151 is still open. Once VSCode releases an API, I will add support to .code-workspace files.

Hope this helps
