Eclipse TheaIDE, open folder via Explorer as with Visual Studio Code.
One thing I like about Visual Studio Code is that it adds a menu entry to the explorer during installation, which allows you to open the folder directly in the editor. I use this quite often, be it to use the GIT functions or to quickly open a project.
The Eclipse Theia variant does not include this via the installer. But it can easily be retrofitted. Here is the template of the registry file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Context menu for folders (right-click on folder) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\theia] @="Open with Theia" "Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Eclipse Theia\\TheiaIDE\\TheiaIDE.exe,0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\theia\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Eclipse Theia\\TheiaIDE\\TheiaIDE.exe\" \"%V\"" ; Context menu for folder background (right-click in empty area) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\theia] @="Open with Theia" "Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Eclipse Theia\\TheiaIDE\\TheiaIDE.exe,0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\theia\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Eclipse Theia\\TheiaIDE\\TheiaIDE.exe\" \"%V\""
If necessary, adjust the path if the software is installed in the user path. Save as a .reg file in the editor and then import by double-clicking.
The function is now also available directly in Explorer. If an error message appears, check the path. It is also important to set the slashes twice.
