Anytime I have edits beyond the docs directory the sync button won't activate the sync animation, provide an error, or anything.
Is there something that could be done to improve the experience if it doesn't support other files being included in the sync? Maybe for example, git add only selectively adds the recognized document files without anything else?

Secondly, would be great to consider a commit/vs sync button. I prefer to backup the work I'm doing and then sync.
If I can use a custom shell script or something instead and just invoke this as a button so I use my preferred git command then that's even better, but not sure if I can override the sync button with my desired behavior.

In the latest beta, we improved the sync a bit to not exclude files, but there is no support for adding your custom behavior. I would suggest opening an issue: https://github.com/estruyf/vscode-front-matter/issues - and explaining what you want.

The tag field is fine for most things, but I need to change the tag type to an array of strings, which is not an option with the current taxonomy. Can I create my own? Not having that option is a burden since I forked a repo and need to edit a ton of files.

[estruyf]

You can change the type of your tag field to a choice field. That way, you can have a list of stings to pick from.

for contentRelationship type would be nice to have a quick search

[estruyf]

Thanks for the suggestion! Would you see the experience as the tag/categories picker? Which can give you the results in a dropdown or you can filter the results by typing.

[aluciu]

yes, something like tag picker minus the "+" button :D

I created an issue for this to track it: estruyf/vscode-front-matter#690
