Live updating of data and plots with incoming data #278

Open peacefulbadger opened 3 years ago

Firstly, fantastic plugin. I love the ability to be able to visualize datasets from within VScode.

Is it possible for the datasets and its accompanying visualizations (e.g.: .csv and its Y-line chart) to be updated in real-time? The way Excel Preview implemented live updates is a good example. Currently I have to periodically click the refresh button to update the datasets and visualizations.

Again, great plugin.

would you mind posting a review in vs marketplace?

This extension got some negative reviews there recently.

I did get similar requests in the past for the live data preview update. Unfortunately, that requires adding file watchers and I am afraid will open more issues since they are OS fs specific.

I'll keep this request open for now and see if I can add it in the next update I need to do to resolve a few other pending requests and issues.
