What shipped in 1.4.0.

Open a .code-workspace

  • A VS Code workspace file opened from Finder, the Dock or open -a arrives as the multi-root project it describes rather than as a JSON document to read.
  • Every local folder it lists becomes a root, in the order the file gives them.
  • A directory opened from outside the app is treated the same way: a single-folder project.

Find in Files honours the workspace’s own exclusions

  • files.exclude and search.exclude from the workspace file are applied to folder search, using the portable subset of VS Code glob syntax — *, ? and recursive ** — so patterns such as **/dist and **/*.generated.swift work as written.
  • Search in This Folder narrows a search to one subtree without closing or replacing the workspace you have open.

Opening a project does not overwrite your folder

  • A project opened from outside the app is a launch context rather than a preference, so closing it leaves the folder you had chosen yourself exactly as it was.

Known limits

  • Only local folders in a workspace file are opened; remote and virtual roots are ignored.
  • Plugins still see a single root — folderRoot is unchanged, so generation-7 plugins behave exactly as they did.
  • Code folding and recorded macros remain roadmap items with no promised date.
