Show/Hide projects from dashboard

[RuiffCardoso]

Hi, it would be very usefull if I could hide projects from the spring-boot dashboard.

Simply right clicking and selection to hide would be enough, but if it would be possible to add a regex filter would be excellent.

Thanks

Can you explain why using the search box at the top, possibly in combination with some tags is not good enough?

I mean that search box + tags, should be able to easily let you focus on a any subset of elements that is interesting to you. If that doesn't work, or it simply isn't convenient enough in some way, it would be good for us to understand exactly why, before we blindly implement some additional filtering mechanic that may still not help your particular use-case.

What search box? I can't find any.

This is because I have multiple projects each with sub-projects which appear on the dashboard and only 3 are runnable spring boot projects. It is "harder" (not that straight forward) to click on the right project and Run/Debug with this amount and it visually occupies too much height.

This is an image of my panel:

If I could, I would only show 3 projects (the ones with *-ws)

Oh sorry, my mistake. I gotten a bit confused, I thought we were talking about STS 4 boot dashboard in Eclipse. No fault of yours, since obviously we aren't talking about that here because this issue is in the vscode-spring-boot-dashboard issue tracker. Jumping between different projects / trackers sometimes gets a bit confusing.

The Eclipse boot dashboard has searchbox and tagging etc. But the vscode boot dashboard is a bit more limited and there really isn't any 'filtering' mechanic available here yet.

Eheh, no problem. If I posted the picture right away I would have helped

Does VSCode support adding searchboxes in this area like Eclipse? Thanks for the feedback =)

I would answer... but I'm not really sure. The good Microsoft folks who built most of this boot dash for vscode might know what's possible in terms of VScode UI here. So I let them take over responding to this ticket from here.

VS Code has the search boxes in its "Outline" view, but it hasn't exposed the related APIs yet.

Here is a feature request, and I find a related workitem in VS Code Iteration Plan for October 2018:

Tree widget performance improvements & filtering support @joaomoreno

So I suppose it will be available soon.

VS Code v1.37 supports filtering now. It should be easier to find out the project.
