Gnome search provider for VSCode workspaces

I no longer use or maintain this code.

Add recent workspaces of various VSCode variants to Gnome search.

Supports

• Code OSS (Arch Linux)
• VSCodium
• Visual Studio Code (AUR package)
• Visual Studio Code (Official packages)

Under the hood this is a small systemd user service which implements the search provider DBus API and exposes recent workspaces from VSCode.

Installation

Packages & binaries

I provide binary packages for Archlinux at home:swsnr:owned.

From source

Install rust then run

$ make build
$ sudo make install

This install to /usr/local/.

Note: You really do need to install as root, system-wide. A per-user installation to $HOME does not work as of Gnome 40, because Gnome shell doesn't load search providers from $HOME (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3060).
