common glitch

[mcandre]

This plugin interacts poorly with workspace directories.

A very common workflow, involves launching VSCode against a given project directory, e.g. code . However, the plugin fails to populate the status bar with the directory path. As a workaround, you have to manually open a child file in the directory.

I believe the intial design of this plugin didn't take folders into account, only non-directory files. That's okay, it's just a historical matter. But we should extend the design in a new, modern way, that always renders the workspace directory in the status bar as a fallback. When no particular file tab was recently opened / foregrounded.
