yes, yes, yes. I just want to report it. this issue is very important. every local chat history is important to save lots of time next time. I am using it inside vscode at windows 10.
please fix it.
Yep, worked just a while ago, like a few days ago. Are you guys using your own extension?
This was just released as 0.4.6 (0.5.6 vs code pre-release)
