VS Code: How to open a file and folder in a new window?
I've figured out that `code --new-window /foo/bar/baz.txt` will open `baz.txt` in a new window. But when I do this, it says "no folder opened" in the file explorer pane. That makes it hard to work with other files in the same directory. How can I also set the folder when opening a file like this? I know that `code /foo/bar/` will open the folder, but the problem is that it won't necessarily open the file `baz.txt`, but whatever was open the last time. I want both the folder to be opened and also the file I want to be shown in the editor pane, so I can go ahead and start editing my file.
