Architecture

The architecture is heavily based on the PowerToys VSCodeWorkspaces plugin. The plugin itself relies on the following files:

• WorkspacesCache to read workspaces' IDs (...\User Data\Profile\Workspaces\WorkspacesCache)
• Preferences to read profiles' name and type at (...\User Data\Profile\Preferences)

The plugin then launches the workspace by starting a new Edge process with the workspace ID as an argument equivalent to the following:

msedge.exe --profile-directory=Default --launch-workspace=$workspaceId

If there is no existing Edge process for the corresponding profile, an empty Edge window will be opened and the workspace will be launched.
