I tried to create a README.md file inside an empty directory in vscode and I got a text saying
"Running 'File Create' participants..."
which I had to cancel after a while before seeing my file. It is probably a vscode issue but this is another story.
I also saw the following related setting in vscode:
// Timeout in milliseconds after which file participants for create, rename, and delete are cancelled. Use `0` to disable participants.
"files.participants.timeout": 60000,
My question is: What are Participants?
Does the above expression translate to "Running 'File Create' event handlers"? If yes, how does "Participants" differentiate from Handlers? (or is it more close to Observers/Listeners?)
