Selectivelyhide services in Azure extension/explorer

yooakim opened this issue · 4 comments

I would like to be able to hide services I am not using in the Azure extension/explorer.

In this example:
azure-explorer

I would like to hide "Virtual Machines" for example as I never use them...

Hello! Right now we're rewriting our plugin. In the new version, it will be possible to mark a resource as a "Favorite".

Ok, that sound good. But often there are types of resources you never use. And it does not make sense to see them in the tree view (I think) - Myself I work with many teams and they only develop cloud solutions. Never using virtual machines for example. So then it would be nice to be able not not show the virtual machine node at all.. That type of selection.

Does that make more sense? @rafaelldi

Sorry for the delay. I'm not sure. There is always a UX issue with hiding: how to bring it back when you need it or when miss-clicked.
And there is a technical issue that this functionality is implemented in the original plugin, and we can't change it without them.

We have a new preview version of the plugin, could you check #777 and give it a try to see if the idea with favorites works for you?
