Cannot copy from folders with dots in the name

[tothi]

Let's say we have two folders:

My Folder: /home/istvan/w/test
Compared Folder: /home/istvan/w/test.2

Here is hello.txt only in the compared folder:
/home/istvan/w/test.2/hello.txt

If we try to "Copy to my folder" (using right click context menu on hello.txt), it gives the following js error at workbench.desktop.main.js:149 (stating wrong path expansion /home/istvan/w/test.2/.2/hello.txt instead of /home/istvan/w/test.2/hello.txt):

Using Code - OSS 1.85.1 on Linux (Node.js: 18.15.0), with Compare Folders v0.23.0 (from marketplace).

Thanks @tothi for reporting this. I'll look into it soon

[moshfeu]

Was able to validate. I'll try to fix it soon

[moshfeu]

Related to nodejs/node#6229

[moshfeu]

Can you try this version please?

compare-folders-0.24.2.vsix.zip

Install extension from vsix file

[tothi]

cannot. when I add the VSIX it hangs in "activating..." state and the extension is not fully available.

You're right. An error thrown on linux. Checking

[moshfeu]

Can you try the latest insider version?

You need to disable the regular version first

Sorry for the inconvenient, there is an issue on linux when building the extension on mac. Normally it goes through the ci which build the extension on Linux but since it's an internal version, I built it on my mac computer. Anyway.. I built it now on a linux machine so I hope it will work for you this time 🤞

[NordiskaRobin]

I had the same issue and i can verify that with the insider version it works now! :)

[moshfeu]

Thank you @NordiskaRobin!
I'll push the version to the regular extension soon
