The extensions deleted color customizations from settings.json

Open jvcmarcenes opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

The extension deleted a whole bunch of my settings.json file, removed all the color customizations i had on that file

wtf does it do that? i'm mad that a lost the theme that i used because of this random extension

None of this is a scam

@jvcmarcenes  I'm sorry. These behaviors are needed due to VSCode platform limitations. U can read more here

I'm aware it's not a scam, i was very angry when i wrote the issue, sorry

thanks for adding the warning, it's a bit unfortunate i had to lose my themes, but at least i hope the warning makes less people lose their themes

also if the reason for deleting color customizations is to force vscode to update the themes by changing settings.json, then why not make a minimal modification that doesn't remove user settings? or at least make a backup before deleting it? my colorCustomizations were over 500 lines, and included a bunch of comments with colors i had found that worked nice
