Custom sites in side-view panel

Post by ScrKiddle »

I dont know if it is a bug, but if not it is a feature request.

In the side-panel/side-view, there is a button to add preview-files, when i click on it a little window opens, there i can add a file or an URL.
I add https://devdocs.io/ and press ok, the URL is now in the list and in the select-box of the side-view.
I have an open document of type Markdown (*.md), the side-view shows the preview of the markdown-file.
Now i click the select-box on top and i select the https://devdocs.io/ site.
The site does not show up, and the side-view keeps showing me the markdown-preview.
I hit the refresh button, i change between internet-explorer and edge... how ever the configured site does not show up.

Ideally the selected site would show up, so a user can select the preview of the active file, or select any other configured site as given in the list of this little window where files or URLs can get added to.
Super nice it would be if URLs can get added per or pro syntax-highlighter.
So the select-box would use a different list of URLs or files, depending on the active syntax-highlighter, and on top the side-view of the active file.
Then a user can, in example, add different HTML-references to the syntax-highlighter for HTML, while on top is the preview of the active file.
Then the same for CSS or what ever.
If the user is editig a HTML files the select-box then will show all HTML-references and on top the preview of the active file, the the user can switch between preview or any given reference.
Then the user can activate an other tab with a markdown-file, so the select-box will show all the given markdown references and on top the preview.
And then there are some files which do not use a preview like python or what ever, and then the preview can switch directly to a given reference.
The references then get ordered in the little window where files or URLs can get added, but in the select-box the preview, if possible, is always on top.

That would be very handy. :-D
