This is an awesome tool :) Thanks for making it!

Is this at all possible? I know there are workarounds, but it would be great if I didn't have to copy and paste my build code into the extension each time I rebuilt.

If you're short on time, just some insight into whether or not this is possible would allow me to branch out and/or make a pull request.

Thanks!

This was something I wanted to do a long time ago when this was in active development. I can't remember 100% but I think I came to the conclusion that it wasn't possible at the time. I might have also thought it was something that would be annoying for the user. Maybe it would require the user to approve directory access often. I know there is file system access these days, so maybe it's possible now. I know that also requires user permission to whatever directory (cant remember if the preference sticks though).

I'm not sure if I'll have time to look into this however I do know that the requirement for extension manifest v3 is coming up very soon, so if I don't at least upgrade this extension to work with that, then this extension will be dead.
