Bookmarks lost at filename change

[Wilmvanrooij]

Hi all,

At times, I find myself needing to modify a file's name in vsc, and when I do so, I lose the associated bookmarks. While I'm aware that I can manually update the bookmarks.json file, I'm wondering if there is a more convenient way to transfer the bookmarks from the original file to the renamed version ?

Thank you for your help and any suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Wilmvanrooij ,

If you rename the file inside VS Code, using the native Rename context menu item, the bookmarks will be automatically updated as well. This is possible because VS Code notifies file renaming and I can handle it. This feature has been originally requested by #209, and released a few years ago.

Renaming the file outside VS Code, shell or other tools/commands, isn't supported.

Hope this helps
