I've built a new pc, and I'm trying to transfer all my VS Code settings from my old pc to my new one. And I came across Settings Sync within VS Code. I sign in on both machines using my GitHub account. I click Sync Now, it somewhat works in that only five of my extensions show up on my new PC, I have over 100. But then on my old pc all but those same 5 extensions
for some reason, gets removed.
For a brief moment, I was able to get all my extensions back on my old pc by clicking in the sync activity (remote) tab and restoring to a previous state. The problem is, whenever I open a new window, they're gone again. Now when I try to restore a previous state, it just loads those same 5 extensions only.
I came across this post Recover lost settings + extensions and more?
And I tried JΛYDΞV's suggestion. I can see the backup JSON files which contain info for all my extensions when I view it in Windows explorer. However, when I try to view them in VS Code under the Sync Activity (Local) panel, I get this error:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')
Would anyone have any other ideas as to how I can get my extensions back on either machine?
I should also add that before I tried any of this I did actually copy the entire VS Code folder under AppData\Roaming to an external hard drive and for the heck of it overwrote that same folder on my new pc just to see if that would remedy the problem, but then however no extensions show on my new pc.
Would anyone have any more steps I could try? The last thing I would want to do is to have to add all those extensions again

I have a very weird situation. Since a few days, the following actions will crash my Windows 10 PC (using Notes R9.01FP8):
I open my Prefs page in the Domino Designer
click on the Source tab
move to a specific location in a table
then I add a Repeat control
I then open the Properties of the Repeat control
to set the data to JavaScript...
and nothing happens, until after a few seconds: BSOD - Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap in either win32kfull.sys or ntoskrnl.exe.
Sometimes, the JavaScipt box is displayed, so I can paste my code, but a short while later the PC still crashes.
I have to say that my PC crashed a lot lately, so I reinstalled Windows and all drivers, so there might be a rotten one that causes all this. According to DriverEasy, all drivers are now up to date. The Event viewer displays a BugCheck event, but nothing relevant (to me anyway).
What I did for further analysis:
I removed Cache.ndk, it didn't help (of course)
in a copy of the XPage, the system crashes when I add the Repeat
ditto, in a different XPage
it seems to work in a different Notes database, on a different XPage
so I created a new database, copied all elements from the original database over, and still the system crashes when I add the Repeat
I'll be doing so more tests, e.g. with an empty database and just one XPage, then adding my Prefs page, or with the same database but then on a server. Actually, one could say I'm kind of lost, and stumbling around in the dark.
My questions to the XPages/Eclipse gurus:
could it be the workspace, and is there any way to reset it?
do you have any suggestions how to get this solved?
Thanks!
The Windows Creator update that MS posted does not seem to fix the Designer crash.

I'm setting up a new machine and want to have as much synced between my two machines as possible. I use vscode as my main editor and would like, if possible, to have the two instances synced. I'm wanting to copy some settings folder to my iCloud drive, and then symlink it back to it's location on my local drives.
If I did this, will open files sync in real time, or only on startup? Will this likely lead to anything being corrupted? Is this even possible? Finally, what folder must I sync?
I'm doing exactly this nowadays (after using Settings Sync for a while) – syncing settings via my iCloud folder.
The content of ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User is what you are looking for.
I linked keybindings.json and settings.json and they both work fine without hickups so far. You might want to sync the folder snippets too.
workspaceStorage makes no sense to sync because they are specific to the workspaces you open on a single machine.
It works basically "out of the box". Even if a new setting gets not picked up instantly by a running VSCode instance if it syncs in the background while open, you can always cmd+shift+p Reload Window or open and close the settings (I almost never have to do this).
Using RAD 8.5/ClearCase 7.x, I checked out many files. I made my changes and was able to check many of the files back in (using the GUI RAD interface). However I'm unable to check in many other files by right-clicking on them in Eclipse. When I do right-click on them, the check-in & out options are disabled but the 'Add to source control' is enabled - RAD/CC react like these files are not in source control, but they've been controlled for many years. I am able to do a 'Find checkouts' (using RAD) and it lists those files. If I start up CC Explorer and check those files in my view, they show as 'View-private file'.
I've tried deleting one of these files via CC Explorer and then try to "re-add" it via the RAD GUI but I still get a generic error at that point that doesn't tell me anything.
How do I at a minimum get these files back in a state that I can check them out?
After working w/ our inhouse CC support staff, we've gone the route of them going in and undoing the check outs of the remaining files and then creating a new view. Then delete the "bad" view from my RAD workspace (as well as from the VOB) and import the new view. Because of additional CC plugin issues, we're also uninstalling RAD, WAS, and Clearcase to reinstall them. So this current situation is now closed.
I was facing the same issue in clear case view, this may not be the proper answer as I am not doing through eclipse, but it may help others. Solution was
Go to version tree of the file, right click on the checked-out node and there check in option was enabled.
I have configured VB6 with VSS 2005, following functionality working fine :
Check In and Check Out of code
Get Latest Version
Showing error when code Check Out by another user.
Showing error if use try to edit code without Check In ( only when user takes latest version)
Difference I am finding in VB.Net and VB6 configuration with VSS are :
Code not getting Check In automatically when user try to edit code, without Check In Code.
Not allowing user to save changes and Check In code later after 1 or 2 days. User require Check In code before closing code.
Showing "Path/File access error:" for .vbp file.When user tries to save code on machine.
Allowing user to edit code without Check in when user opens the code first time.
I did all the settings mentioned in this link.
As MarkJ mentioned the vbp file is always saved when the application runs. You can cancel out of the dialog to run the project anyway but this is more hassle than just right clicking on the project root and checking out.
I am using Team Foundation Server with my VB6 projects and there is no auto check out in this either. I'm afraid you will have to live with it until you port the code the .NET
As I mentioned heredead link: WayBack version there is also a problem when you have some files or documents not in SourceSafe.
Specifically (as I still document here), when some of the files of a project are not associated with SourceSafe often no files have their SourceSafe status glyphs displayed.
The workaround I found was displaying the Add Files dialogue and then cancelling it. I offer my public domain add-in that automatically implements this workaround.
And BTW, make sure you install the latest VSS Service Pack.
I hope it is okay to ask for strange behaviour/bugs in Eclipse here.
When I use the Eclipse synchronize view with Subclipse, I used to see all incoming files from other developers very nicely with blue arrows pointing to the left. Double click was perfect to open the compare editor and review all changes.
For some time now, whenever a colleague adds a new file it shows up as an incoming new folder in my synchronize view! Even if I update it, I sometimes need to restart Eclipse to have this folder disappear from sync view (or sync a different folder and sync the root again). Also double click to open the compare editor is broken then (It's nice to see the new file, even though the left side of the compare editor is empty, but that does not matter to me)
Does anybody know why this happens? I tried all kinds of preference settings and could not find anything on google. I think I use Granny made or whatever they call it, I can't find a sane version number anywhere. Thanks!
