Hello! Honestly I don't know where it saves. It uses vscode state internally https://github.com/AssisrMatheus/sidebar-markdown-notes/blob/main/media/main.js#L112

So the extension don't have access to that, it only save/reads from vscode and vscode itself handles that.

hehe.. ohh well..

I assume:

  • Using VSC internal storage is good if your synchronize the settings with Microsoft-VS-Code account...
  • Not easy to share/backup notes between different computers/users

It could be saved in a user-settings-extension folder as markdown or something else, but I don't know if they are synced with MS-accounts..

Hello I dont know if it easy to do... but I think an option to access to files (todo.txt or .md) should be a great feature. I agree @martinandersen3d . More easy to move / backup / open (in tab for exemple or non vscode users) Thanks, great project

First, nice extension, I just installed it.

About the data location and sync: There is a non-MS sync extension, which can save extension settings. If one could write non-JSON data as "extension setting", then that would be synced automatically by MS sync feature and non-MS sync extension, I guess.
