--- Comment #5 from Ben V <[email protected]> --- > Aha, that's the problem: VSCode can in fact open folders, but doesn't > advertise this in its .desktop file. It should!

Please do report that issue to the VSCode > folks, though. Similar issues exist for all Jetbrains products, GitKraken, and numerous other dev tools that I use. Whilst I understand that the "correct" route is for the owners of these tools to correct their desktop files, surely it is in the best interest of the end user to add this easy option as a workaround? It's a relatively basic feature that I'd expect to see, and was rather surprised when it didn't exist. I don't think we should be compromising system usability simply because there is a "correct" way of doing it which clearly isn't being globally adhered to by application developers (and relatively large ones at that), to the detriment of KDE users. In my opinion the average user shouldn't need to be filing bug reports against these applications or manually finding and updating their own .desktop files, even if those more experienced with the technology should do so on behalf of the wider community. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
