[FEATURE] - Always Show Status Bar Widget

[CagriAldemir]

When I open a folder in vscode, I can see the widget like below.

But when I close the folder, the widget disappears. Can we add an option to show widget always.

Hi @CagriAldemir ,

The Status Bar idea is to display the current project name. That's the reason why, when you close the folder or open an unknow folder, it is not displayed.

What would be the expected behaviour of the widget if it is always available?

• Would it display a constant value, like Project Manager
• Would it display a tooltip saying List Projects to Open or List Projects to Open in New Window, depending on the projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingInStatusBar setting.

What do you think?
