Todo-tree: Dragging to sidebar

[joserubicon]

Hi,

After v0.0.189 the rule showInExplorer is deprecated (as shown in notifications). When I try to drag todo-tree to the sidebar it works fine, showing the icon in the sidebar. But after restarting vscode the icon is gone and the notification appears.

Is it a bug or will it not be allowed to use the sidebar again?

Thank you.

Did you remove the setting showInExplorer setting in your preferences? If not it will keep putting it back into the explorer pane. Unfortunately there is no way to know if you have moved it (as far as I know). But once you've removed the deprecated preference it should stay where you put it.

Or, if you click 'Dont Show This Again' it should no longer move it.

There is no showInExplorer setting in my preferences. I tried to remove every other setting too. But the Icon keeps to disapear at every restart.
That's a pity, because I love this extension and I use it lot <3.

Doh! I know what I've done - I left the default of the setting as 'true'!

If you drag the pane back to the activity bar first, and then click 'Don't Show This Again' it should remember.

I'll make a proper fix.

I've just uploaded a new version which should remember the setting correctly now. If you've already clicked 'Don't Show This Again' then it won't make any difference, but it should now be fixed for other people.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Nigel,

I do not have showInExplorer in settings. I uploaded to the new version without clicking 'Don't Show This Again'. But now I can't see todo-tree under Explorer tab.

In the other hand I can't drag from status bar the todo-tree elsewhere if this is the method to have todo-tree block under Explorer tab or his own tab. In other words, I can expand the todo List. :-(

Fresh install also doesn't work.

Thank you, pal!

If you don't have showInExplorer anymore then it won't try to move it to the explorer pane automatically. But you should be able to drag it from the Activity Bar into the Explorer pane if you want to.

It should always be visible somewhere, unless there are no TODOs in your workspace. If you want it to be visible even when it is empty, you can set todo-tree.tree.hideWhenEmpty to false.

If I am misunderstanding, could you attach a screenshot?

OK!!
hideWhenEmpty helped me, also changing to workspace with TODOs. Now I have the todo-tree icon in sidebar.

But when I click to the status bar icon the action takes me to explorer panel. Highlights the working tree and I spect to open todo-tree. todo-tree.general.statusBarClickBehaviour is default as reveal.

Thank you Nigel!

Ah yes - there might be a bug there. I'll investigate. Glad it's working better though now. 😄

Fixed the status bar click in the latest version (0.0.191)
