yesss the simple dialog one is what ive been trying to look for a long time, thanks!

Are profiles available on different machines? For example can i create a profile on one machine w all my settings, snippets, extensions etc and then "login" or sync that profile to my vs code install on another machine?? That would be amazing!

I just ran knto an oddie tonight where i had snippets setup on one machine and was on another laptop and realized my snippets and settings werent configured on it.

bvasically i want a profile for my office use, and another one for my personal learning!!

Very well explained, thanks. One question, does profiles get sync with VS Code account?

Hi, how I can export my extensions to another profile?

[ArsenArts]

Hi Zoran! Thanks for your video! Which VS Code theme do you use here?

Curiously some months ago I was thinking why VSCode didn't have an option like this to separate my extensions and configurations by technologies instead of enable/disable extensions... now I feel someone have been spying on my mind 🤣🤣
