Folders with "Add existing projects" option

[nev-21]

Describe the solution you'd like Add this option: "Add existing project", to folders context-menu (right-click on folder). Then allow to add many projects at once.

The workflow should be like this:

1. rigth-click on any solution folder
2. a windows-popup appear to select a "folder" or "csproj" 2.1. If csproj was selected, just add it 2.2. if a folder was selected, then the vscode-prompt appear with the list of all projects inside that folder (recursively), the promt should allow to add many selected projects not only one, to add them at once.

i would like to help if you guide me how to do it

Hi @nev-21, I will try to summarize what is necessary to extend vscode-solution-explorer commands:

First of all you have to know the vscode extensibility:

• Commands: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/command
• Context menus: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.menus

Then you must know:

• Every user interaction is a vscode Command.
• vscode-solution-explorer uses context variables in the packages.json contribution field to link commands to the correct menu items.
• In the SolutionExplorerCommands.ts file you will find the command binding.
• You can find the vscode-solution-explorer commands in the src/commands folder.
• Each vscode-solution-explorer command calls one or more actions.
• You can find the vscode-solution-explorer actions in the src/actions folder.

I hope it helps you :)
