Sync part of the Settings #1347

Hi all,

I hope you guys are still working on this great extension? We are currently using the code-settings-sync extension mainly in Azure Data Studio because there is no native support for syncing settings and such as in Visual Studio Code. We are using this extensively within our company to create a unified developers environment for Database Administrators (we can start all from the same development environment with the same SQL snippets and shortkeys which is really great and helpfull). Maybe this can also become a more focus area for this extension in the future?

Now by using it more extensively we also noticed that by syncing the settings.json file it also contains database connections. And thus overwriting the client existing connections whenever you download the new settings from the central gist repository. I noticed that you can exclude certain folders and files from the sync upload but you cannot exclude specific parts from the settings.json file. Is this something that seems feasible to implement?

If you need more or additional information please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Kind regards,

In what world uploading your settings is ok to also upload folders, files etc. I've been using this extension for a long time. In recent times I switched computers and "downloaded my settings" settings were unusable, older versions would get populated in the gist even when creating a new gist . It should settings sync not user folder sync at least that was suppose to be an opt in feature. Thank you for the great time we had together.
