What variant of Codex are you using?

Vs code plugin

What feature would you like to see?

Chat History Sidebar - Analyze how github copilot has provided a seperate sidebar for chat history and running chats, it helps with visibility and easy switching. Can you do something like that.

History seperation based on folder or project - Right now Codex is running on system level, if I am working on 3 different project, history of all three projects is visible in each proejct. That is now what we need, we need to see specific history of that project, or if you can provide filter in history sidebar, that would even be great.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a project-based filtering system for the chat history sidebar to improve visibility and organization.

Guidance

  • Consider adding a dropdown or tabs to the chat history sidebar to separate conversations by project or folder, similar to GitHub Copilot's implementation.
  • Introduce a filtering mechanism that allows users to view history specific to the current project, reducing clutter and improving navigation.
  • Investigate the feasibility of integrating project-specific metadata to automatically categorize and display relevant chat history.
  • Evaluate the potential for user-configurable filters or sorting options to further enhance the chat history sidebar's usability.

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific requirements and technical constraints of the Codex plugin and its integration with VS Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom filtering system for the chat history sidebar, as the current system-level approach does not meet the user's needs, and a project-based filtering system would significantly improve the user experience.
