! Task Deck !! VS Code<br />
|-<br />
| 4.0.0 || 1.85.0 or newer (<code>^1.85.0</code>)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Task Deck needs no other extensions. It shows the tasks that VS Code and your installed extensions already provide. Without a task provider for npm, Gulp or Grunt, those sources do not appear.<br />
<br />
== Installing ==<br />
=== From the Marketplace ===<br />
# Open the [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MutigerAffe.task-deck Task Deck page on the VS Code Marketplace].<br />
# Click '''Install'''. VS Code opens and installs the extension.<br />
<br />
=== From inside VS Code ===<br />
# Open the Extensions view (<code>Ctrl+Shift+X</code>).<br />
# Search for <code>Task Deck</code>.<br />
# Click '''Install''' on the entry by MutigerAffe.<br />
<br />
=== With a command ===<br />
Open Quick Open (<code>Ctrl+P</code>), paste the following line and press Enter:<br />
<pre>ext install MutigerAffe.task-deck</pre><br />
<br />
== First start ==<br />
After the installation a new icon appears in the Activity Bar. Click it to open the ''Tasks'' view. The extension starts when you open the view or run one of its commands.<br />
<br />
On the first start in a workspace the view stays empty until VS Code has collected the task list. After that Task Deck keeps a copy of the list and shows it right away the next time. See [[TaskDeck:Task View|Task View]].<br />
<br />
== Updating from Quick Tasks ==<br />
Before version 4.0.0 the extension was called '''Quick Tasks''' and had a different extension id. VS Code does not update it to Task Deck by itself.<br />
* Uninstall Quick Tasks and install Task Deck. Don't keep both installed, because they use the same command and setting ids.<br />
* Your settings carry over. Both versions use the same <code>quickTasks.*</code> settings.<br />
* Pinned tasks are stored per extension, so pin them again in Task Deck.<br />
<br />
== Uninstalling ==<br />
Uninstall Task Deck in the Extensions view. Your <code>quickTasks.*</code> settings stay in your user and workspace <code>settings.json</code> files. Delete them there if you no longer need them.<br />
