VSCode “Work with Apps” Not Working for .ipynb Files

Hey folks,

I’ve found the “Work with Apps” feature in ChatGPT super helpful—especially when integrating with VSCode. However, I’ve run into a consistent issue:

When I try to open .ipynb (Jupyter Notebook) files using the VSCode option in the “Work with Apps” menu , I get a message like:

“VSCode (Inactive)”

This doesn’t happen with .py or other regular Python files—they allow for the “work with apps” feature to work just fine on chat GPT.

Is this a known limitation or something that might’ve been overlooked?

Also, is this the right place to flag this for a potential fix in a future update?
