Unfortunately, this extension has been terminated.

My developer account cannot connect to extensions store. So I cannot update latest changes into vscode extensions.
Sorry @trevormerritt for adding support for Linux.
Sorry @rainum for adding settings to set a root path for project files.
I'm sorry @osechet for improve directories ignore, and @oplik0 fix messages issues.

Don't know what to say, I sincerely apologize to the contributors to the project.
