I've read that there's improved multi-root support but it's not clear how I would use that to solve my issue.
Hi @SudoCerb ,
First of all, sorry for the late reply.
About the behavior, if you have enabled saveBookmarksInProject
in the multi-root workspace level (directly in the your-workspace.code-workspace
file), a individual .vscode/bookmarks.json
file should be used for each folder, containing the bookmarks of that folder. This is the similar behavior as VS Code itself, while handling folder settings on multi-root workspaces, which handles individual .vscode/settings.json
file, on each folder. The same behavior should be seen if you enable saveBookmarksInProject
at user settings level.
However, if you set saveBookmarksInProject
in one individual folder within that multi-root workspace, it will be ignored, for that multi-root workspace. It only works if you open that folder separate, in an individual windows.
But, there is one caveat, and maybe this is what happened to you. If you:
saveBookmarksInProject
disabled at user settings levelsaveBookmarksInProject
setting to trueI think a fix for this would be effectively split the bookmarks, and save them on its own root-folder
The hard part (in the bookmarks.json
matter) for multi-root workspaces is that you may have your .code-workspace
located anywhere, away from the original root-folders contained in that multi-root workspace. So, to saveBookmarksInProject
for multi-root workspaces, the only reasonable location is inside the root-folder itself.
Hope this helps
BTW, I'm not inclined to the external location management for bookmarks, like #685 for instance, simply because it would be necessary to replicate a session management feature, like VS Code already does today.
I think what would happen if the user selects a network location, or even shared locations (two users sharing the same bookmark files) would be another thing to worry about.
I have a workspace with three different repositories. I enabled Save Bookmarks In Project but this saved a new
bookmarks.json
file in one of my repos under.vscode
(seemingly the first one it found alphabetically), but I was not working in that repository at the time, and don't want bookmarks to live there.Would it be feasible to configure a bookmarks.json file per workspace folder or git repository?
