TaskDeck:Installation

Requirements

Task Deck	VS Code
4.0.0	1.85.0 or newer (^1.85.0)

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.

Installing

From the Marketplace

1. Open the Task Deck page on the VS Code Marketplace.
2. Click Install. VS Code opens and installs the extension.

From inside VS Code

1. Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. Search for Task Deck.
3. Click Install on the entry by MutigerAffe.

With a command

Open Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following line and press Enter:

ext install MutigerAffe.task-deck

First start

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.

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 Task View.

Updating from Quick Tasks

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.

• Uninstall Quick Tasks and install Task Deck. Don't keep both installed, because they use the same command and setting ids.
• Your settings carry over. Both versions use the same quickTasks.* settings.
• Pinned tasks are stored per extension, so pin them again in Task Deck.

Uninstalling

Uninstall Task Deck in the Extensions view. Your quickTasks.* settings stay in your user and workspace settings.json files. Delete them there if you no longer need them.
