[FEATURE] - Ability to specify include / exclude folders per project

[AzzaAzza69]

When I save the project, it creates a "paths" array key, "paths": [],

and as I can't find any documentation, I thought I'd have a go at restricting the project to just specific folders, eg: "/mnt/x/project/app", "/mnt/x/project/lib", "/mnt/x/project/public/js", "/mnt/x/project/public/css"

but this doesn't appear to work - is this something you are looking at doing?

Hi @AzzaAzza69 ,

This paths property is outdated, and has no purpose anymore.

It was an attempt to create multi-root projects, before Multi-root workspaces, was officially released natively in VS Code.

But, about your question, what do you mean about restricting the project to just specific folders? Do you mean restricting folders in the Explorer view inside VS Code, or the list of projects that the extension would detect/provide?

Where a project folder has lots of sub-folders: /project/ /project/app/ /project/app/controllers/ /project/app/views/ /project/public/ /project/public/css/ /project/public/js/ /project/public/images/ /project/public/fonts/ /project/public/third-party/

I would like to have: { rootPath: "/project", paths: ['app/', 'public/css/', 'public/js/'], } where app/ = all subfolders under app (see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/glob-patterns)

or maybe exclude folders from within the rootPath like this: { rootPath: "/project/", exclude: ['public/images/','public/fonts/','public/third-party/'], } so the tree would exclude the images, fonts, third-party folders.
