I'm encountering an error while comparing folders in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) using Beyond Compare. When attempting to compare directories, I receive the error message "Could not open Beyond Compare". This suggests that there may be a problem with how Beyond Compare is being launched by VS Code.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open VS Code.
Attempt to compare two folders using Beyond Compare.
The error message "Could not open Beyond Compare" appears.

Can you provide some more information on the environment? What operating system are you using? Does it work for file compares? How are you trying to launch the folder compare? Are the folders local?

If it's relevant, we don't currently support launching folder compares of remote resources. For single file comparisons, we can just copy the contents to a temp directory and have BC compare against that, but we don't do that for entire directories.
