Auto Open Folder

Double click a file, it opens alongside the parent folder.

Automatically opens the parent folder in a new VS Code window when you open a file from outside the current workspace.

What it does

• If you open a file that is not part of the currently open project:

  • The file’s folder opens in a new VS Code window
  • Your existing window is left untouched

Why

VS Code allows opening single files without context.
This extension restores project context automatically.

Settings

• Auto Open Folder: Enabled
  Toggle the extension on or off.

Notes

• The initial file may briefly open before being moved to its folder.
• This is a limitation of the VS Code API.
