VS Code - can't get Pinegrow Live Sync extension to work [Fixed]

The issues with the VS Code extension come from url mapping between Pinegrow and VS Code on Windows. There, URLs are represented slightly differently and then the extension doesn’t recognize that the document is open in Pinegrow.

I just updated the VS Code extension to 0.0.9 with improved fuzzy logic for mapping urls, that should ignore slight differences in URL formatting.

Also, Settings now have the Enable debug checkbox that when enabled, outputs information to the debug console. We can use this for troubleshooting any issues. There was also a bug that caused endless “File was saved in the external editor” messages in Pinegrow when the document was saved in VS Code.

Please try to update the extension to 0.0.9 and let me know if it works better now. If it doesn’t work, enable the Debug mode:

And then send me the output from the Developer Debug console:

Thanks! I hope we’ll finally get the extension to work correctly in all situations.
