Use VSCode Icons for other file types in SAS Server Files #1299

Open engmtcdrm opened 5 days ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now if you are looking at files on the SAS Server filesystem, i.e. Linux it will not provide icons to files that are not .sas files. It would be nice if other files types had icons so it was easier to identify what the file is without needing to look at the extension.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see icons that are provided from the SAS extension to be pulled from VSCode. VSCode supports a lot of different file extension icons. As well this should support alternative icons sets, but I imagine if setup correctly it wouldn't need to be managed.

Describe alternatives you've considered There is none.

Additional context Below is an example of how non .sas files do not have an icon. image

Environment SAS version: Viya 4

If more file types are going to be supported with a dedicated icon then this should probably be consistent across the various SAS-owned panels in the SAS Extension.

Here is how files in SAS Content are represented inside the SAS Extension for VS Code: image

Here is how the VS Code Folders panel displays these same files: image

Just for reference, here is how those are displayed in the SAS Studio Explorer panel: image
