[FEATURE] - Avoid displaying the webview on every opened VS Code instance

[alefragnani]

Today, when the “What’s New” window appears, it is shown on every VS Code instance.

The idea is that the “What’s New” window only be shown in one VS Code window (preferably the “active”). VS Code itself works this way.

It may be worthwhile to take into account different Profiles as well:

I think the switching from one profile to another is still within the same VSCode instance, so it may be worth adding logic for this.

Currently after updating Bookmarks, I may have to close the "What's new" tabs popups quite a few times (up to 30ish as you can see), even if I read it the first time.

Hi @hyperupcall ,

The reason behind #42 is to deal with it. Profiles may use different versions of the same extension (until you update it) so, when you switch between profiles, the extension may think it has been downgraded and would fire the what's new window. With #42, this would not happen anymore, after every Profile to be updated to the version of the extension that does support that.

At first, I tried to identify the Profile to achieve that instead, but there is not API available, unfortunately.

Hope this helps

I see - it is unfortunate there is no API available but I am glad that you considered the option. Thank you also for making the Bookmarks extension!

Let's hope it works as expected. And once this issue is also released, I expect the window to be displayed only once, when really expected.
