"create fabric project" loads new project in a new window

There are no good solutions to this problem....

1. open a folder in the current window

   • then you have to check the user has no unsaved files first

2. open a folder new window

3 . You can add the folder to a workspace

Problems:

• Opening in the same window means you have to check if the user has any unsaved files first
• Opening in the same window or new window causes vscode to meaning that the extension is no longer activated and needs to be reactivated by running a command etc.
  • It is possible to activate the extension on opening a folder that contains a file so if we had a file name that was pretty unique to our project we could use this to activate it
• Adding to the workspace if they already have a workspace open then it would add it to the current one which maybe unrelated to the new project

https://vscodecandothat.com/ has an example of asking the user which option they want which might work better but the issue of needing to activate the extension again will still exist

@EdMoffatt from a design point of view what do you think is the best option?
