Auto Upload / Download : Disable change detection for workspace storage folder.

[sevenryze]

🐛 Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
The extension triggers upload action every time when i click activity bar or open terminal.

🌴 Visual Studio Code Version : [ 1.29.1 and latest insider build ]
🌴 Code Settings Sync Version : [ 3.2 ]
🌴 Standard or Insiders : [ both of them are tested ]
🌴 Operating System : [ windows 10 ]
🌴 Occurs On: [ Upload ]
🌴 Proxy Enabled: [ No ]
For note: I use bash on windows as external terminal

📰 To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'normal workspace'
2. Click on 'any activity bar item or open terminal'
3. See error, the status bar will show "Sync: Upload in progress, please wait"

💪 Expected behavior
Should not upload settings when i click the buttons mentioned before.

📺 Console Error Log

Seems like the sync extension always detects workspace storage file changes.

📺 Additional context
In my code/user folder, the syncLocalSettings.json file is there, which declares that the workspaceStorage folder should be ignored. look like this extension failed to parse the global configure file.

Can you post your Settings Sync global settings ( See readme where global Settings are present )

Could these help you? i couldn't find any error in these settings.

I think you have set auto upload or download is enabled.

Any updates on this bug? This is interfering with vscode-vim's status bar theming (as it overrides status bar styles using the workspace's settings.json) and preventing me from making a switch to vim.

I also had this issue and had to disable the auto upload feature. Clicking the activity bar, which many extensions use, should not trigger an upload. This didn't start happening until VSC 1.31.

Its fixed in new version. Please update and let me know.
