No list displayed in the sidebar

After checking joplin configuration items, restart VSCode.

Clicking on the sidebar fails to open the note

There may be multiple reasons for this problem

1. Check if you can open vscode through the switch external editing function in joplin

   1. If it can't be opened, you need to check the text editor command in the settings page, you need to set an editor, or there are invalid settings, refer to: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/5921#issuecomment-1002692774
   2. If you still have problems, please go to the official joplin project file an issue

2. Please use version v1.4 or higher, because it contains the necessary action api, for example, open notes based on noteId in VSCode

3. Make sure to install the Joplin desktop version on the current computer. The plug-in does not support CLI, because it does not include the above action api, refer to: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/16735

4. Check whether the following command can be executed normally, if it still cannot be opened in the editor, you may want to ask @laurent22

   curl --location --request POST'http://localhost:41184/services/externalEditWatcher?token=***' \
   --header'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw'{
    "action": "openAndWatch",
    "noteId": "257f6a9dacc1409580ee526d50ac4d49"
   }'

How to use plugins in two synchronized vscode configurations

By default, joplin on each computer will generate a random token, but you can modify it manually. The general configuration file is ~/.config/joplin-desktop/settings.json, you only need to modify the api. The token is the same token.

Incompatible Plugin Markdown Preview Enhanced

Since Markdown Preview Enhanced builds its own webview page for rendering markdown files and does not care about the markdown-it extension-guides api provided by vscode extension-guides/markdown-extension), it is now incompatible and recommends using [Markdown All in One](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzhang. markdown-all-in-one), reference: https://github.com/rxliuli/joplin-utils/issues/46
