Azure Data Studio stable and insiders share the same settings.json file. How can they coexist ? #25892

Type: Bug

There's nothing to reproduce, it's a configuration issue. On the same windows11 Pro I have both VS Code stable and VS Code insiders, and if I look at their AppData folders, I see that the former uses a "Code" folder, and the latter a "Code - Insiders" one. That way, they can maintain separate settings files, and this makes total sense.

Azure Data Studio, however, doesn't.

I have both its stable and its insiders versions installed, but they share a single folder, in AppData : its name is "azuredatastudio". That's it, there's no "azuredatastudio - insiders" to maintain a separate configuration for the insiders version, and this doesn't make sense at all, they can't really coexist that way. You should follow the example of what you are already correctly doing with VS Code, and use a separate "azuredatastudio - insiders" folder in AppData.

Is howewer the insiders version still supported ? It's no longer being updated and it's stuck to v. 1.49.0, whilst the stable is now at 1.49.1...
