Option to not connect automatically to Recent SSH Projects
Hi
I've several Github codespace projects that I use SSH to connect to for remove development. (There used to be a nice Codespaces plugin which is no longer available in recent versions of Gateway due to Github not maintaining it, if I understand correctly).
So, using SSH is the only way this works for me now. Unfortunately, whenever I go to my recent SSH Projects, it causes each and everyone to start up automatically. Can this be disabled so that I can select which project I want to start-up and connect to? Or is there a better way for using Codespaces now.
A simple settings option to disable auto connect would solve this.
Many thanks

Hi David,
You can turn off the updates, but the first connection attempt will still be performed. Please refer to the following article:

Thank you for your replay, although I'm not sure that this helps. I don't really see the need to automatically connect - if I have 50 ssh projects set up it will fire off 50 connections, the chances of needing them all is very low. What is the benefit? Could you not have a flag to say if you want this behaviour or not?
We do not currently have an option to disable recent projects. Please feel free to create a feature request in our tracker:

To limit the number of projects you have on a page, you can:
1. Remove unused remote server by using Recent Projects -> Cog Icon -> Remove Host…
2. Clean Recent Projects for a particular server by clearing ~/.cache/JetBrains/RemoteDev/recent/ directory on that server.
