What do you folks use profiles for? I dont understand how I would use them. Currently I connect to a remove linux server and each of my programs have its own folder. So I just connect to one of those folders.
Is this what profiles is used for?
I have found a way to fix this. more like a workaround
Download this extension : Export Your Extensions - Visual Studio Marketplace
On the laptop you want to export your extensions export it and send it via email or anyother solutions then on your new pc use the same extensions to import the extensions.
That’s it !
Solved: Issue While Importing VS Code Profile into Cursor
I was facing an issue while trying to import my VS Code profile into Cursor. After trying multiple solutions, I finally figured out what worked for me.
Solution:
If you have any autocomplete extensions installed in VS Code (like GitHub Copilot, Blackbox, etc.), remove them first. These extensions seem to cause issues during the profile import process.
Steps to Export from VS Code:
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette.
Type and select: Preferences: Open Profiles (UI)
Export your current profile from there.
Steps to Import into Cursor:
Open the same profiles UI in Cursor using Ctrl+Shift+P > Preferences: Open Profiles (UI)
Use the import option and select the exported profile.
Once I removed the conflicting extensions and re-exported the profile, the import into Cursor worked perfectly.
Hope this helps someone else struggling with the same issue!strong text
