This means apps with a "Open With" functionality cannot automatically list VS Code in a list of apps for users to choose from. Solution: Add to supported document types. Example:
/duplicate cc
This is not a duplicate of that issue. That issue is about adding a custom menu item to the right-click menu in Finder, which is completely different.
Oh yeah sorry!
btw not sure if you know anything about it, but I was never able to figure out how an Electron application can declare these services to work for text: ! vs VSCode: ! Maybe there is a related entry to declare text editor capabilities? Not sure you know anything about it.
It's something you get for free when using . You can declare support yourself with
I gave the suggestion to do what does a try but cannot make it work. Even when I install , I see no entry in the folder context menu to open the folder with the app, so I wonder if this actually is still supported in macOS? To clarify: when I try to copy the entry over, I can no longer start VSCode, so maybe there is more to it than just changing the info file, maybe it requires some native code too? I could not find any docs about this oddly, would be great to have blessing from Apple that this is still possible. I was hoping this could have maybe fixed
did you re-sign the package after making changes to the plist file ?

This would require changes to so that relevant categories are filled under , I would suggest to test this change as part of the build, so that you have a signed application.
Oh yeah let me try that, however I have little hope given that was not showing up in the context menu either...
Finder does not support opening folders, but other apps do: (It hard-codes VS Code because of this issue) Here's a special build that does not hard-code VS Code so you can test it:
I have also sent a feature request to Apple to get a "Open With" menu in Finder for folders too:
if you want to test a build, I have ready with the following entry: Before trying, make sure to configure , otherwise the automated update would download the previous build again. One thing that is not clear to me: we use a few more properties when declaring such as: Wonder if that would cause any harm for a folder?
was deprecated in macOS 10.5. You should use instead.
I suggest to deal with in a separate issue. Opened PR to add , seems to work fine with the "Path Finder" app.
Verification: install an app that supports this ( -path finder) make sure you can right click on a folder in the path finder app and select VSCode to open
Verified. Path Finder looks cool
Yeah thought the same!
