WSL import profile folders setting about terminal

[DHowett]

Thanks for the request!
You can sort of do this already, by using a matchProfiles entry in the new tab menu (docs).

Here's what mine looks like:

"newTabMenu": 
[
    {
        "type": "remainingProfiles"
    },
    {
        "allowEmpty": false,
        "entries": 
        [
            {
                "commandline": null,
                "name": null,
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
                "type": "matchProfiles"
            }
        ],
        "icon": "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{9acb9455-ca41-5af7-950f-6bca1bc9722f}.png",
        "inline": "never",
        "name": "WSL",
        "type": "folder"
    }
],

In brief: it's two toplevel menu items, one that says "all unclaimed profiles go in the root" and one that says "now put some WSL profiles in a folder called WSL". All WSL profiles will go into the folder, and all non-WSL profiles will go into the root.

You can minimize it down to...

"newTabMenu": [
    { "type": "remainingProfiles" },
    {
        "entries": [ { "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl", "type": "matchProfiles" } ],
        "name": "WSL",
        "type": "folder"
    }
],

It looks like this at runtime (for me):

(The ubuntu profile doesn't report as WSL, because Canonical Ltd created a new custom entry for it - you can use as many matchProfiles entries as you need in a menu, though, to cover everything you want.)

Does that help?

FWIW, my actual new tab menu config looks like this:

"newTabMenu":

    {
        "type": "remainingProfiles"
    },
    {
        "allowEmpty": false,

        [
            {
                "commandline": null,

                "source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore",
                "type": "matchProfiles"

    }
],

At least for now that seems to be the best option we have. Thanks.
