lock-file-vscode-plugin

Allow you to set which files cannot be modified, renamed and deleted. Let's say you use some extensions like chatgpt, they might delete/rename/modify files you don't want to change, this extension helps you out.

Features

• Make specific files cannot be modified when save it
• Make file name cannot be renamed with vscode UI interaction
• Make file cannot be removed with vscode UI interaction

Requirements

No.

Usage

1. install this extension
2. create .vscode/settings.json in your project:

{
	"lockfileVscodePlugin.lockedFiles": ["test\\.txt"]
}

3. done

When you remove/modify/rename a file and its filesystem path matches regexp you have set (in this example, "test\.txt"), this file will be protected, you're failed to remove/modify/rename it.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• lockfileVscodePlugin.lockedFiles: a regexp string array, pointing at which files should be protected.

Known Issues

It doesn't work with directory, in other words, if you remove/rename directory, no protection. This is caused by vscode internal design, it doesn't report any delete event when remove directory.
