This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-workspace-default-dir

English · 中文 · 日本語 · 한국어 · Français · Deutsch · [Español](README.es.md) · [Português](README.pt.md) · [Русский](README.ru.md) ![Settings card](assets/settings-card.png) Make dsh's workspace directory picker (Add workspace → Select workspace directory) open at a directory you choose — for example E:\python_project — instead of the Windows user home.

Install

Pick one of the three ways below, then restart dsh web:

# 1) npm package (when published to npm)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-workspace-default-dir

# 2) GitHub repository (ships the prebuilt lib/, no local build required)
dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/dragan2023/dsh-workspace-default-dir

# 3) Local directory (development / self-hosted)
dsh plugin --profile web add D:\path\to\dsh-workspace-default-dir

After restarting dsh web, a Workspace default directory entry appears under Settings.

Usage

Open Settings → Workspace default directory (设置 → 工作区默认目录). Type an absolute path — for example E:\python_project — then click Save (保存). The next time you open the Add workspace directory picker it starts at that folder — no restart needed.

The card always shows the currently active directory (当前生效). Leave the input empty and save, or click Clear (清除), to return to the default (the user home).

The same setting is available on the command line:

dsh-workspace-default-dir set E:\python_project   # set the default directory
dsh-workspace-default-dir get                     # show the current default
dsh-workspace-default-dir clear                   # clear it (back to home)
dsh-workspace-default-dir status                  # patch & setting state

The GUI card and the CLI write the same DSH_PICKER_INITIAL_DIR (setx-persisted), so they stay in sync.

Behavior & limitations

  • Both picker backends are covered: the native Windows dialog (via IFileDialog::SetFolder) and the browse picker (used when the web server binds a non-loopback host, e.g. LAN 0.0.0.0).
  • Registry fallback: the patched pickers read DSH_PICKER_INITIAL_DIR from the process environment first, then straight from HKCU\Environment — bypassing the stale-Explorer-environment problem (no Explorer restart needed after setx).
  • Self-healing: on every dsh boot the plugin idempotently re-applies the two small backend patches, so a dsh upgrade that restored the stock files is repaired automatically.
  • This is a patch-type plugin: it modifies the two picker package files inside the dsh installation (idempotent, additive only). The browse backend loads its patched module at dsh startup, so one dsh web restart is needed after install/upgrade; the native dialog reads its worker on every open.
  • Verified on Windows + dsh 0.1.0-rc.6. On other platforms/versions, if the edit pairs do not match, a warning is logged and the patch is skipped (dsh still boots).
