Vscode-remote-release: Automatically open in container

[turowicz]

Please add a setting for always attempting to open in a container if a project contains the .devcontainer folder.

Thanks for the suggestion! To verify, would you be looking for something like this:

1. If the notification appears telling you that you can reopen in container, there's an option that says something along the lines of "always reopen".
2. If you click it, from that point forward, any time a folder is opened in VS Code with a devcontainer.json present, it just does it.

Moving to the vscode-remote-release repo where we're tracking extension feedback.

@Chuxel EXACTLY.

Currently I flip between different projects (8-10 at a time) and each time I have to wait for the popup and click "Reopen in Contanier" manually.

Hi @turowicz , I'm not sure if you know, but on Windows you can at least "pin" container-projects. This way they are immediately openable from the icon on the taskbar and the start menu. Maybe this helps.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

Any update on this? Would like to have this feature too.

I have switched to "Open Repository in Container". No longer a problem for me.
