Add folder to workspace whenever adding appinfo.json

[stephenquan]

1. In AppStudio, download any app
2. In AppStudio, select Files to launch File Explorer
3. In File Explorer, right click on appinfo.json and Open With > Visual Studio Code
4. Note that only appinfo.json is opened.

Workaround:

1. In Visual Studio Code > File> Open Folder ...
2. In Open Folder dialog, select "Select Folder" button

• The extension now opens a project folder automatically, when appinfo.json is opened and there is no folder in the workspace
• This is to ensure that if there is any existing folder opened in the workspace, it will not be replaced by the new folder

@stephenquan - I dont believe the title of this issue matches the description or the current implementation.

The title implies to me that whenever you attempt to open a appinfo.json file in vscode, the full folder of that project will be opened. that would mean

• if you launch it from a file browser, you get an app full of files in one instance of vscode, and then
• if you launch another, you get a different instance of vscode with that app full of files. when i go file > open file > choose an appinfo.json file, then i expect a full app set of files to open. if there's already another there, it should open in parallel to the existing one.

What is happening now (version 0.0.12) is

• if i launch an appinfo.json from a file browser i get a new instance of vscode (no files)
• if i launch an appinfo.json from file > open file > choose an appinfo.json file, if there isnt a project open already, the whole project is opened. if there is already a project open, i only get the appinfo.json opened.

What is it that you are asking for?

This issue as it stands, is still not resolved.

• If I have no Visual Studio Code open, and from file explorer you choose an appinfo.json file and click Open with Visual Studio Code - only the appinfo.json file opens (not the rest of the project).
• The case where it does work currently is if an instance of Visual Studio Code is already open with an appinfo.json file open in it. In this case, a new Visual Studio Code instance will launched and all files in the project are opened along with it.

The intention of this issue is to be able to handle the case of a project being launched from AppStudio's edit button. In that case, each time someone clicks edit, a new instance of Visual Studio code should launch, with the full set of project files.
