Issue #50: Contextual Structure for Projects
Created: 2016-09-06T21:44:20Z
The are some issues related with this one, but not seems the same goal.

#43
#46
#47

I work in several projects that are related in some way. There are two frameworks with many sub projects, for example. I could say that I work in different contexts and the projects are differents in theses contexts, so it will be nice if I could change my current context and the projects availables in this context.
In other words, I am suggesting an project.json with this format:
[
  {
     "label": "awesome-framework",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "core",
          "description": "C:\\awesome-framework\core"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "ui",
          "description": "C:\\awesome-framework\ui"
       }
    ]
  },
  {
     "label": "wonderful-framework",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "core",
          "description": "C:\\wonderful-framework\core"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "ui",
          "description": "C:\\wonderful-framework\ui"
       }
    ]
  },
  {
     "label": "personal",
     "projects": [
       {
          "label": "resume",
          "description": "C:\\personal\resume"
       }, 
       {
          "label": "game",
          "description": "C:\\personal\game"
       }
    ]
  }

]

And, to usage, there will be another keyboard shortcut to change contexts. So I start my day, choose my context with alt+shift+c and along the day I can change my projects with alt+shift+p. Maybe I little bit crazy, but I think it will be useful for whom works in more than one company.

Duplicate issue #301: Group name everywhere?
Created: 2019-10-02T16:18:15Z
Hi,
first, thanks for the this extension, its really helpful.
I have a couple of requests, but I will put them a separated issue/request.
I have not found any purpose for the "group" property for each project. For me it means a kind project tagging. Personally I think that everywhere where you show the project name you should have the the group. Ex: My Awesome Facebook Clone (MyGroup)
Also inside of the side panel (project manager) the same thing should apply.. because I have around 30 projects in there which most of them are grouped by 'something' but there is no difference on how it shows. I always need to add the group into the title... so i can tell them a part.. or else I'm going to have 10 projects called Admin, 8 called API, 3 called Porn Movies.
I think it would be nice and probably easy to just prepend the group name to the title, than way when they are sorted by title.. they all are grouped nicely.
Ex:
(Facebook) API
(Facebook) Admin
(Facebook) Scrapper
(Movies) Porn
(Movies) Cowboys
(Movies) Spanish Classroom

I would take it a bit further.. and add a tree structure.. with 1 level deep.
Ex:
Facebook
|----> API
|----> Admin
|----> Scrapper

Let me know what you guys think.
PS: Sry for my human 🤺  writing, need to practice a bit more.

Closing comment (2019-10-03T20:39:25Z): Hi @Narven
This is already being tracked in #50, which still awaits for proper API available in VS Code itself, reported in microsoft/vscode#11468.
I would ask you to upvote the VSCode issue, so the VSCode team could give no attention.
Hope this helps
