Vscode-project-manager: Add a 'projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingTheStatusBar' setting

[sparrc]

I've just updated to 0.17 and found that my projects no longer open in a new window, could you please consider re-adding this setting?

That, or have some setting for when clicking on the status bar it should use List Projects to Open in New Window instead of just the regular List Projects

That being said, I would prefer if it just always opened in a new window. Personally I don't ever want to open a new project in the same window and I liked having that configuration option.

Hi @sparrc ,

Sorry to hear that 😢 . The intention was to _avoid more conflict_ with the new command created some releases ago List Projects to Open in New Window', since its default value wastrue. Doing so, the users could just use the new command, maybe with a new keybinding. Personally, I definedCtrl + Shift + Alt + Pto theList Projects to Open in New Window' command.

The use could become simpler with #76.

I thought about the Status Bar, but decided to remove from that as well. I didn't know how useful it was. I think I could add a config specifically for that, as you suggested 👍

Hope that helps.

@sparrc Came here exactly to say the same thing.

This became even more useful with the latest "window.nativeTabs": true setting in the most recent VSCode release. The new window setting by clicking the name in the status bar (if the new window preference is set to true) would now allow it to open in a new tab (which is awesome). Hope to see this back soon.

Sadly, I can't test this nativeTabs feature, since I don't have a Mac available to test anymore :cry:

Maybe you/someone else could make a PR with this? :smile:

Sorry, but where do you put that setting? Is it through File > Preferences > Settings?

@carrbrpoa exactly. just add "projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingInStatusBar": true and _reload VSCode_.

Was missing the reload, thanks!

Wonderful. Thanks.
For some reason, I was clicking on "projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingInStatusBar": true, and it wasn't inserting it in my settings.json . Had to do it manually.

Anyhow, works like a charm (after reload). thanks
