Show Disabled Extensions at the Bottom of Extensions List

[DavidTheProgrammer]

It's not a majorly important feature but It would help Immensely. Cycling through disabled extensions on the list while looking for a specific one can be quite disturbing. There's a filter for showing disabled only extensions "@disabled" so I assume the feature wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Or better, add a separate explorer section under Extensions called "Disabled" to complement "Installed" and just group them in there. The slight contrast difference in the extension's title font is not so easy to spot using the default dark theme. If that gets traction, it would also be nice to have Extensions that require updating and reloading to be organized under a separate group, too. I imagine all this is managed in the same area of the code.

Thanks to the PR #47766 by @ryenus, you can now customize the default Extensions view and get to choose between Enabled, Disabled, Installed and Recommended Sections. You can do this in one of 2 ways:

• Run the command Open View or choose the menu View -> Open View. Scroll down to the Extensions section and choose which section you want to add to the default view
• Right click on any of the sections and choose to show/hide the sections

You can also re-order and re-size these sections

The default view will contain Disabled(collapsed), Enabled and Recommended sections if you dont do any changes.

The current feature on insiders is perfect in my opinion. Just need to be fixed, there is still some bugs (ext icon not showing, unable to uninstall ext under certain conditions...). Will allow to focus on environnement.

Can you elaborate?

[Guema]

Can you elaborate?

Sure.

For the uninstall bug : Currently, i'm not able to uninstall any extension. Instead i get "could not find extension notification"

For the icon bug : Reload/Launch again vscode, the layout hide icons. sliding overlapping panels over those from below restore them.

@Guema Thanks!

I see the both the issues as well. Logged #52077 for them as they are related to each other but not to the current issue.
