Notes
💬 Commenti sulle righe BETA
Puoi aggiungere commenti a qualsiasi riga di codice nei file delle cartelle temporanee.
Fai clic destro su una riga -> Aggiungi commento.
Scrivi il tuo commento e clicca su Invia (o icona spunta).
Un simbolo 💬 apparirà a fine riga.
Passa il mouse sul simbolo e clicca "Apri Commento" per rivederlo o modificarlo.
I commenti sono salvati in .tempfs/comment.json.
⚡ Ephemeral Sessions
Auto-Destruct: Create "Ephemeral Sessions" that are automatically deleted when you close VS Code.
Safe Playground: Perfect for testing dangerous scripts or quick experiments you definitely don't want to keep.
Zero Clutter: No manual cleanup required. The extension handles it for you silently in the background.
Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
🔗 TempFS Path Decorations (New!)
Smart Path Display: Use tempfs://<folder-name> in your code - it visually displays as a short path but stores the full absolute path.
Auto-Complete: Type tempfs:// and get IntelliSense suggestions for all your temp folders.
External Tool Compatible: Scripts and tools see the real absolute path, while you see clean, readable paths.
Perfect for Scripts: Share Python/Node scripts that reference temp folders without hardcoding absolute paths.
📋 Clipboard Magic
Paste as Folder: Have a code snippet in your clipboard? Just run Create from Clipboard.
Auto-Detection: The extension automatically detects the language (Python, JS, HTML, etc.) and creates the appropriate file extension.
🖱️ Drag & Drop
Seamless Integration: Drag files or folders from your OS directly into the Temp Folders view to create instant copies.
Import: Drag files into an existing temp folder to copy them there.
🛠️ Power Tools
Snapshots: Create timestamped backups of your temp folders before making experimental changes.
Export: Save your work? Export any temp folder to a permanent location or as a .zip file.
Link Existing: Manage existing folders on your disk as if they were temporary (without deleting them).
