AutoOpenWorkspace README

Very simple VS Code extension and mostly a copy of the HelloWorld example.

When VS Code opens a folder and if the folder contains a .code-workspace file then it will automatically open the workspace.

It was created because Microsoft said the community should implement but no one has. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/64565#issuecomment-527450898

This would be better handled by VS Code itself because to open a workspace is rather hacky.

Currently only works on Windows.

Features

Automatically opens a .code-workspace file if present in a folder.
