I have this issue which is always bothering me about Visual Studio Code, I was wondering if there is a way around it:

I want it to open projects in a new window unless the current window is empty, then just open the project in the current window.

I know I can make it open projects in a new window by default by setting

"window.openFoldersInNewWindow": "on"

Which is how I generally want it to behave, like if I already have a project open, I want any new project I’m opening to go into a new window.

However when I first start vscode, or if I hit “New Window”, I get an empty window, and when I open a project from this empty window it opens another window with the project in it which makes no sense because it just leaves a useless empty window I have to manually close every time.

Is there a way to change this behaviour? Am I misunderstanding the intended workflow?
