Promising but lacks robustness

[radman-x]

This extension has the potential to be useful but currently lacks robustness. We are running VSCode v1.30.2 on Windows 10 and having these problems:

• From CommandBar: settings menu option in All Commands menu, we get "Create Workspace Settings", "Create Global Settings" and "Cancel", NOT the "Create New" and "Cancel" that your getting started GIF shows.
• After choosing "Create Workspace Settings", the commandbar.json file is put under a strange folder on our c: drive (it is "c:<user_name>\command.json! As documented by Strange path "~/commandbar.json" #68). However, notice that I said we chose "Create Workspace Settings", NOT "Create Global Settings.
• After completely uninstalling the extension, our VSCode app is now ALWAYS opening up with a "commandbar.json" file in an editor window. HOW CAN WE GET RID OF THIS?
• Also, we are now getting the following error whenever we save a file (never got this before installing your extension):
  A system error occurred (UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir '\Users<user_name>.vscode')

Please help us to fully uninstall your extension!

same problem

I am looking into that.
@radman-x did you happen to open user folder as a workspace? Also, is '<user_name>' a placeholder for an actual name in your example?

[radman-x]

I do not think I opened a user folder as a workspace (but cannot be sure).
Yes, '<user_name>' is just a placeholder for a user name.
We recently upgraded to the latest update of Windows 10 and, since then, the 'commandbar.json' file appearing in an editor window, and the '...system error' have gone away. So we are now satisfied that the app has been fully uninstalled. Maybe Windows 10 was caching something? Either way, this issue can be closed as far as we are concerned (but maybe not @piconew ?) -- I'll leave it up to you close it, if you wish.

After uninstalling. Open the vscode every time will open the "<login_user>.vscode\commandbar.json" file,can not save(A system error occurred (UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir '<login_user>.vscode')).
install again, Still have the same problem.
Windows system, the path should be c:\user<login_user>.vscode directory right?
Ps: login_user is not administrator

@piconew Can you please try the latest version?

I was able to reproduce this issue by killing vscode process. It seems VSCode is trying to restore this file. Please get new update and try to close out this file without saving it.

@piconew any chance to check/report if this issue is fixed?
