Visual Studio Code plugin for copying the current file to new pre-mapped locations

^{_{Sublime Text 3 equivalent: https://github.com/jbaranski/TossFile}}

Extension Settings

• Always use a trailing slash to the end of the path mappings you list
• On Windows the root drive folder name must be lower case in your path mappings, for example c: instead of C:
• replaceIfExists, extensionExcludes, nameExcludes, outputPathExcludes, inputPathExcludes can be put on a specific pathMapping entry as a key to override the global settings on a case by case basis

Example Scenarios

Invoke the plugin by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P and execute the Toss File command

Example 1 (assume you are using the settings listed above):

1. Run the toss file command against a file, for example /home/source1/my/special/file/file.txt
2. The file is copied to /home/destination1/my/special/file/file.txt
3. If the directories at step 2 don't already exist, they will be created

Example 2 (assume you are using the settings listed above):

1. Run the toss file command against a file, for example /home/source77/my/special/file/file.txt
2. No matches found, nothing happens
