Visual Studio Code Open Project

This extension allows you to easily switch projects inside Visual Studio Code.

Project Settings

You can create a map (name -> folder) in the configuration:

{
    "vscode-open-project.projects": {
        "justcode": "D:\\Work\\vscode-open-project",
        "omnisharp": "D:\\Work\\omnisharp",
        "vscode": "D:\\Work\\vsocde",
        "vscode-open-project": "D:\\Work\\vscode-open-project"
    }
}

or specify a config file in the configuration:

{
    "vscode-open-project.config": "D:\\Work\\projects.json"
}

In case you choose a config file, it should have a projects property:

{
    "projects": {
        "open-project": "D:\\Work\\vscode-open-project"
    }
}

Launches a new Visual Studio Code Instance with the current selected file.

Open Project Configuration

Opens the vscode user configuration or the json config file if you have specified it.
