Better UX for recommended extensions #13456
Description
Suggestions for improving the recommended extensions functionality:
- Whenever I choose the new 'Configure Workspace Recommended Extensions" option, the list of currently installed extensions should be included rather than an empty json array. Adding one by one is really painful.
- When viewing the list of installed extensions and I click one of them for looking at the details, in the header topbar, next to the [Uninstall] button, there should be another [Recommend] button for automatically adding it to the current workspace.
- When looking at the list of recommended extensions (filter recommended:workspace), there should be an 'install all' option.

package.jsondependencies).Add to Workspace Recommendationscontext action to the extension in the viewlet. I wouldn't make it too prominent.Update all.jaime-olivares commentedon Oct 11, 2016
For 1 intellisense would help. Whatever avoids me to manually copy/paste the extension names.
As a second alternative, deleting the unneeded extension names is still better than copy/paste.

I think providing intellisense will be helpful and makes sense than copying the installed extensions.

1 is implemented. Leaving to Ramya Rao (@ramya-rao-a) for the rest as she currently working on improving it.

The 3rd point is done as well. There is "Install All" action on the header of the workspace recommendations section.
Add "Recommend" action to extension viewlet (#50419)

In the latest Insiders and in the upcoming stable update of 1.25.0, there are new commands that will let you add an extension to Workspace recommendations. Thanks Ronald Rey (@reyronald) and Jackson Kearl (@JacksonKearl)
With this all points mentioned in the initial list is complete.
So closing
