Export Problems to Markdown
Export everything in the VS Code / VSCodium "Problems" panel to a Markdown file, grouped by file.
Features
- Exports all diagnostics (errors, warnings, info, hints) across the whole workspace, not just open files.
- Each entry shows line:column, severity, source, code, and message.
- Configurable layout: group by file, group by severity, or a single flat table.
- Configurable output: save dialog, silent write to the workspace root, or copy to the clipboard.
- Filter by minimum severity, and toggle the header block, source/code tags, and column numbers.
See Settings for all options.
Usage
- Open the Command Palette
- Run Export Problems to Markdown.
Example output:
