Modifying of VSCode settings in non Retool Apps

[khill-fbmc]

I am working in a project in VSCode that is not a Retool App, and it seems like the Retool Extension is adding to my settings file automatically.

Is there a way to turn this off?

Coming back to this because it is pretty annoying...

I cloned a repo, and was confused when I saw the tsconfig.json was "missing". It took me a minute to figure out that the addition of

{
    "files.exclude": {
        "**/.git": true,
        "**/.svn": true,
        "**/.hg": true,
        "**/CVS": true,
        "**/.DS_Store": true,
        "**/Thumbs.db": true,
        "**/.retool_types/**": true,
        "**/*tsconfig.json": true, 👈🏻 Why??
        ".cache": true,
        "retool.config.json": true
    }
}

Sure enough, the file was there, but hidden.

This has been driving me insane. It re-adds those settings too even if you take them out or partially take them out.

Cross linking to the community post I started about this. No traction yet...

Darren from the Retool team's response:

I don't currently have any updates, unfortunately. The fact that this is impacting your dev work outside of Retool is particularly egregious, though. I've commented as such on the existing ticket and asked that it be re-triaged. 🙌

Just found the retool/vscode integration, and like it generally, but am also very annoyed by this issue. I particularly don't like that the change it is trying to make will hide tsconfig.json files. Those are kind of important to be able to see/edit in most typescript repos I work in.
