This should be easy but I can't find any adviceon SO or Scooter forums on how to make the folder compare be case insensitive. I'm on version 3.3.4 and I'm comparing a folder of Visual Basic files.
Thanks for the help.
UPDATE: I finally found it - there's a button to ignore unimportant differences in the folder compare view.
The folder compare view has a button to ignore unimportant differences - that is different from version 2.x.

Is it possible to show the last modified date for each file and folder in the Explorer window of VS Code? If it's not possible by changing the settings, are there any extensions that do this?
I use macOS but am interested in solutions on macOS/Windows.
I'd like to jump in with a link to the best solution I found so far (and a link to the original repository, in case the link to marketplace changes).
But the ultimate solution (I think) would be to show that info in the status bar - I will hopefully remember to update this answer if I ever come across such a solution!
I use the VS Code filesize extension. It shows the size of the file in the bottom status bar. If you click on this size figure you will immediately see a table with the date of file creation and the date of the file update like the following:
There appears to be a whole array of extensions available nowadays, for such matter:

My VS Code is not showing the sub folders when there is only one folder, it only shows when there is 2 or more. I attached a screenshot to show an example. I would like to make it show all the folders. I have been looking for how to make it go back to showing all the folders but could not find how.
If I add more folders it goes back to normal. I would to make it show the Search folder even if it is the only folder inside Input.
For anyone with the same issue, I figured out how to disable this. You need to look up explorer.compactFolders in File > Preference > Settings and disable it.
That's explained in November 2019 (version 1.41) release notes. The feature is called 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.
I'm looking for a way to optically mark different projects in the eclipse "Project Explorer".
From time to time I have to work with several opened projects, to copy files and folders from old to new projects. (I know it is possible to compare folders.. but it is not always the best way)
So it would be really convenient to apply a different color for the main project. E.g. having displayed the folders of that project in green instead of yellow - so this would avoid copy-pasting in the wrong 'direction'.
Any ideas? Or other tips?

Eclipse isnt exploded make-up-bag :D
If you have your projects unter Version-Controll, you can specify custom file/folder/project-decorators with markant Text-Labels.
Therefore see Window->Preferences->Team->...->Label Decoration
It provides me no value to view directories such as "bin", "dist", "doc" as part of my project explorer. These directories are valid and contain useful information, however i gain nothing by staring on them.
Is there a way to exclude them from the view?
You can add the relevant folders and files to a working set. Then tell the Package Explorer to select a Working Set, then it will only show you what you care about.
What you might want to exclude could also be filtered. All these view options are in the little upside-down triangle in the package explorer.
I'm currently trying to create version 1.1 of a project I created in XCode 4, but after archiving the files do not appear in the Project Navigator. My initial thought was that I had to clone my repository (git) and thus create a new version in which I could see the
files, but the clone is also missing the files.
I can access the files from the top bar, but that's not really a desirable solution when
working with a big project. The case is the same for another project that I have archived
so I suspect it is supposed to be a feature of XCode 4.
What am I missing here?
(I'm just combining your "nevermind, I found it" comments into an answer, to maintain the SO style, so this question doesn't pop up as needing an answer.)
Check that you're not filtering file names (left column, bottom.)
Also make sure you haven't pressed one of the "show only files with..." toggle buttons (same location, near the search entry.)
Note that these buttons are toggles
Yes. I had to hit the X button with the icon that was blue at the bottom. This corrected my issue for XCODE Version 6.1. Thanks.
