We can probably do something about this with the vsls API (docs), namely by informing guests about new plots via postActivity.

Unrelated, but did you notice any other parts of the extension that didn't work over live share?

Thanks @pfitzseb, that would be awsome. We've started to use LiveShare more and more, it's really a great tool for both shared coding and shared data analysis (hence, need for plots :-) ).

Yes, @edit and so on don't work because the path doesn't exist locally - but I don't get why VScode doesn't open it on the remote side.

CC @Cornelius-G, @waldie11 and @pbechtle who would be very happy about shared plots as well :-)

We also had some problems with unwanted line breaks in the Julia REPL of the non-host users. All lines were broken at about half the width of the terminal, or so. I can't remember right now if it was just the REPL or also the terminal, so I'm not sure if it's an issue of the Julia extension.

Turns out we'll have to wait for Microsoft to white list this extension so we can use vsls at all.
