no provider for file:///... when moving file from FileSystemProvider to local

[iann0036]

When moving a file from a workspace folder provided by a custom FileSystemProvider to a local folder, I get no provider for file:///<fslocation>/file.txt

Should we be providing an additional FileSystemProvider to serve file:// transfers (probably using the WorkspaceEdit actions)?

• VSCode Version: 1.26.0
• OS Version: Darwin

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install MemFS sample extension
2. Populate the MemFS folder with files
3. Drag a file from the MemFS folder to a local folder

This issue does not throw an error when:

• Dragging a local file to a FileSystemProvider folder
• Dragging files between different FileSystemProvider folders

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• vscode.workspace.findFiles doesn't search in user provided file systems (#55982)

What kind of file are you dragging? Is it a text file or a binary file?

nevermind, I can reproduce

Closing this as a dupe of #41543. Internally, the file-scheme handling isn't really fit for interacting with data from file system providers.
