VS Code 1.28.1 Issues - Githubissues

First of all, this extension is fantastic. Latex Workshop is just too complicated to use for us who just want to do simple things, and have simple ways to do them.

However, it appears the is a problem with this extension and Visual Studio Code 1.28.1 (see below for Help > About dialog).

.tex file extension does not appear in list of file types for Visual Studio Code, and .tex files do not have syntax highlighting.
Preview button only appears for a split second when opening Visual Studio Code and then disappears.

Hopefully this isn't just me because I can't figure this out, and I am not familiar enough with VS Code extensions to dig into the source.

Here is what I get when I run latex --version:
