Possibility in plugin framework to generate Workspaces/Request collections

A possibility to create workspaces/request collections (including folders and environments) to be able to create custom wizards to define project structures.

Interesting! Can you say more about the plugin you're thinking of making? What's the underlying use-case?

Hi Dimitro, thanks for replying. I was thinking about a way to create wizards as plugins for generating workspace structures. In my team we integrate our ERP solution with the customers application landscape. It would be nice if I can create a wizard for my team which asks the standard questions like (examples:) what's the customers endpoints? what's the oauth2 info?, do they have [insert standard application name]? Do they have a Development/Test/Acceptance/Productions environment? Based on those questions the plugin can generate a standard, customer specific workspace with a default set of environment settings based on their own DTAP and a set of specific requests based on our best practice. Hope this makes sense.

This is really cool! We definitely want to expand the surface area of Insomnia that plugins can interact with. This seems like a good area to explore. We'll continue monitoring this discussion for interest but would also welcome a PR to try to do this.
