# Clarion Extension v0.7.4 Released 🚀

I'm pleased to announce the release of **Clarion Extension v0.7.4** for Visual Studio Code.

* * *

## 🐛 Bug Fix – Follow Cursor Focus Issue

A focus-stealing issue with **Follow Cursor** has been resolved. Previously, the Structure View could be unexpectedly brought into focus while typing.

✅ **New behaviour:**  
Follow Cursor now **only auto-reveals when the Structure View is actually visible** , preventing unwanted editor focus changes while keeping the feature fully functional.

**Technical note:**  
This was caused by `treeView.reveal()` being called even when the Clarion Tools sidebar was hidden. It is now correctly gated by visibility.

* * *

## ⚠ Important Reminder: Breaking Change from v0.7.3

If you're upgrading from **v0.7.2 or earlier** , please note that v0.7.3 introduced a **folder-based workflow** :

- ✅ `.code-workspace` files are no longer used
- ✅ Open your **solution folder directly**
- ✅ Settings are now stored **per project** in:

```auto

.vscode/settings.json

```

- ✅ Recent solutions are tracked **globally** for quick access

### Migration Notes

Most users will migrate automatically. If you hit any issues:

1. Open the folder containing your Clarion solution
2. Let the extension detect your `.sln` file (or browse to select it)
3. Settings will be saved into the folder’s `.vscode/settings.json`
