Is there a way to flatten or merge single-folder folders in vs code explorer?
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm looking for some way to reduce the visible size of directories in the explorer, that only have one directory/file in them. I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but basically I want to turn this:
OPEN FOLDER
-ChildFolder
--GrandchildFolder
---GreatgrandchildFolder
---file
---file
Into this:
OPEN FOLDER
-ChildFolder\GrandchildFolder
--GreatgrandchildFolder
--file
--file
GitHub does something like this, for example on https://github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/tree/master/src (a java project), you see test/java/org/bukkit (hovering shows "this path skips through empty directories").
Is there any way to do this in VSCode? It's pretty minor but would be really nice to have when working across multiple java projects.
This should be available mid-december 2019 with VSCode 1.41.
Compact folders in Explorer
In the File Explorer, we now render single child folders in a compact form.
In such a form, single child folders will be compressed in a combined tree element.
Useful for Java package structures, for example.
Setting explorer.compactFolders controls this behavior.
By default, this setting is turned on.

Is there any way to compare two identical projects (with some differences) in vscode? I want to find the difference in the files (e.g. main.c in the first project vs main.c in the second project and so on recersively)
Note: The are a lot of files. I don't want to compare them one by one (by right-clicking on them and choose the compare with option)
I am unaware of VS Code doing this. Beyond Compare does this very well. (exactly what you are describing)
You can choose two directories. The UI will show two columns, and in each they will be highlighted red if there are discrepancies. You can open each folder to see what the differences are.
I'd like to merge at least 2 PDF files into one while preserving all the form elements in the original PDFs. The form elements include text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, drop down menus and others. Please have a look at this sample PDF file with forms:
http://foersom.com/net/HowTo/data/OoPdfFormExample.pdf
Now try to merge it with any other arbitrary PDF file.
Can you do it?
EDIT: As for the implementation, I'd ideally prefer a command line solution on a linux plattform using open source tools such as 'ghostscript', or any other tool that you think is appropriate to solve this task.
Of course, everybody is welcome to supply any working solution to this problem, including a coded solution that involves writing a script which makes some API calls to a pdf-processing library. However, I'd suggest to take the path of least resistance first (CMD Solution).
Best Regards
EDIT #2: Well there are indeed several CMD tools that merge PDFs. However, these tools don't seem to, AFAIK, to preserve the forms in the original PDFs! These tools appear to simply just concatenate the printouts of all those PDFs into a single Printout, which is then presented as a single PDF.
Furthermore, If you printout a PDF file with forms into a file, you lose all the forms in it. This clearly not what I'm looking for.
I have found success using pdftk, which is an open-source software that runs on linux and can be called from your terminal.
To concatenate multiple pdfs into one (and preserve form-fillable elements), you can use the following command:
pdftk input1.pdf input2.pdf cat output output-file.pdf
I really like Jupyter Notebooks.
However, working with them is cumbersome in conjunction with a source control system like git, because an ipynb-File contains the source code (what you actually write in the notebook) and the generated output text / HTML / images / metadata / ...
For example, merge conflicts are difficult to resolve now, because everything is stored in one huge file with lots of generated data.
I wonder if I can configure Jupyter to store notebooks as
A source file: For example, I imagine this to be a Markdown file where everything surrounded by three backticks (```) is interpreted as a code cell. Diffs of that file would be meaningful and merge conflicts would be simple to resolve manually.
A generated file: This contains everything else. If there is a merge conflict within this file, it can be resolved by regenerating it.
Is this possible?
For reference: There is a slightly more general version of this question which lists various efforts at adapting IPython and Jupyter to this effect, and this answer proposes to solve the problem via Git. There is a Github project with a Git filter based on that answer, and (in its edit at the end) the answer links a few similar tools like nbstripout.
I created a RoboHelp html help project that merges three projects into a master project. Indexes and search terms work fine in the Master.chm. However, this Master.chm gets merged into another "Super-Master" application that my application is a plug-in for. After that merge, the sub help .chms items do NOT appear in index and search does not find them. Is there a limited number of "levels" merged help will allow index/search to work? Or is it more likely there is some other problem (ie. Super project doesn't use Binary index) or something?
Mostly it's the binary index. Please check following list of general tips from Rob Chandler's website:
All CHM files should be installed to the same folder.
You can install any number of Slave CHMs but the Master CHM must always be installed if you want the slaves to reference the master
Table Of Contents.
Each project must enable the "Binary Index" in order for index merge to work.
A binary index will not be created if you select 1.0 as the version in the Compatibility box > Compiler tab > Project Options
dialog or if the Create a binary index check box is cleared.
Rick Stone reminded that the Master index must contain at least one index term in order for the merge to work.
Similarly "Binary TOC" must be disabled otherwise merge will not work.
Include HHC works recursively, so you can have groups of optional modules. I.E. HHC files including HHC files that include other HHC
files and so on.
Merging of Index and ALink keywords. This does not work recursively, because they do not know about the TOC inclusions. If
you want to have a unified Index or cross-module ALinks you have to
tell every CHM file which others might be available belonging to the
same project. Again: Do not merge yourself.
Another idea: If you have identical keywords from several files, HTML Help uses the <title> tags in the list of targets. We extended
the title of each topic with the title of the module itself (the
"book"), leading to: <title>This fine topic title (This fine book
title)</title>.
An include statement in a HHC file can refer to a standalone HHC file. The HHC file should be placed in the same folder as the CHM
files.
Is it possible to exclude files from debugging in Eclipse?
There are my files which I have written and I am interesting in going through these files using debugger Step Over command.
But there are also many imported library files and Step Over goes into these files, which I'd like to avoid. So is there an option eother to specify which files to debug or which files to exclude?
If you're using a JVM based language (as you didn't specify), under Preferences, filter for Step Filtering.
You will see a list of packages. Add your packages to the list, and ensure Use Step Filters is selected.
Assuming it's an entire package you want filtered out, and you're using Java, this should do what you want.
