Feature request: Configurable Setting for Favorites Storage #16

Closed cooum closed 3 years ago

cooum commented 4 years ago

Currently, the Favorites are stored in the Folder C:\Users{User}\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\favorites.user.

I usually use VS Code in a portable mode. So Ideally I would like to have the list of Favorites stored in the VSCode folder itself. Alternatively, I would like to have an option to store it at any location I choose. I would prefer not to store any user data in my C: drive.

Good suggestion. Marked as enhancement. Will implement very soon.

cooum commented 4 years ago

Thank you. Much Appreciated

oleg-shilo commented 4 years ago

Done. Please upgrade

The setting is favorites.dataLocation.

In my case I use Workspaces (like projects), would be good to have posibility to use relative pathes to currently opened folder. For example

./ - current opened folder,
.favorites/ - subfolder in current opened folder,
<default>/<workspace> - storing in subfolder if workspace opened

Maybe also option to set default favorites filename, with what we can point different lists for different projects/workspaces. For example <default>/workspace_name.txt - default named list file at default path.

@oleg-shilo Can you please extend this feature? In some cases, would be useful to have separate Favorites for Workspace or a certain folder.

As I understand, currently we have only two choices, <default> or absolute path.

I propose the next options:

name - subfolder from Workspace root or from an opened folder, e.g. .favorites (relatively to current opened folder or Workspace root). If no custom folder exist - use <default>.
Boolean setting Separate Favorites for Workspace, where we can choose if certain Workspace uses separate Favorites (where lists stored in subfolder with Workspace name inside <default>, these also can respect "favorites.dataLocation" and use name)
