Disable MongoDB tab / welcome screen on first startup

[ingokofler]

Question

Is there a way to disable the Tab "MongoDB" that pops up on first startup on Visual Studio code?

Additional context

We are pre-installing this VSCode extension in a Linux Live system and therefore the tab always appears after every system boot when starting VSCode. Even worse, also when switching among different VSCode profiles this tab always appears again.

Hi @ingokofler - this sounds like a valid use case.
I don't think there's a way to disable it at the moment. Here's where we show it in our code:

vscode/src/mdbExtensionController.ts

Line 797 in 8210f7a

showOverviewPageIfRecentlyInstalled(): void {

We could add a global setting that would skip that check though. Feel free to open a pull request, from my knowledge we don't have this work planned.

Alternatively you can create a request on our feedback forum: https://feedback.mongodb.com/
We have voting and can give progress there for these sorts of things. I imagine we'll prioritize it if we have more folks running into it.
Thanks for opening the issue and checking out the extension!
