code-nautilus-fork

Changes and Improvements from the original extension

1. Removed shell=True in subprocess execution

   Reason: Avoids potential command injection risks by directly passing arguments without invoking a shell. Impact: Increased security by preventing malicious shell commands from being injected into the script.

2. Replaced subprocess.call() with subprocess.run()

   Reason: subprocess.run() provides more control and is the preferred method in Python 3 for executing system commands. Impact: Improved clarity and safer execution of subprocesses.

3. Absolute path handling for files and directories

   Reason: Using os.path.abspath() ensures that all file and directory paths are fully qualified, reducing the chance of unintended behavior with relative paths. Impact: Improves security by ensuring that all paths are valid and absolute.

4. Full path for VSCode executable

   Reason: Ensures that the correct VSCode executable is used. You can modify the path if VSCode is installed in a custom location. Impact: Prevents the script from accidentally launching the wrong program.
