metadescription v1.0

Created by Gregory Glatzer

Features

metadescription allows you to add a description to any folder or file in your VSCode workspace. Simply right click any folder or file in the Explorer, and click "Edit Description". You will then be provided with a markdown file that is associated with this file.

How it works: Since windows does not have a unique ID for files, metadescription uses the creation date of a file as a unique identifier to associate the description with it. In most cases, this suffices as a unique identifier, unless you create multiple files in quick succession using a cli or other tool.

Note: This extension has not been tested on macOS.

Requirements

The temp node module is required to run this extension. Please install with npm i temp.

Requested Features

• Modify the file tab of the description, so it is easier to identify which description goes with which file when multiple descriptions are open.

• Create a feature to combine all files in a workspace's descriptions into one master file.
