Bug Description
👋 from the VS Code team.
I noticed two best practices aren't being followed for the extension:
- We recommend all icons be monotone:
<img width="178" height="97" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/204ec35d-13aa-4183-af12-fb49d5b6399f" />
- The action appears to be contributed without targeting the URI properly. For example it shows in the settings UI and an image editor like Luna Paint
<img width="680" height="184" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c78eb619-7ad2-45a9-810a-74b1eb78a072" />
<img width="677" height="527" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/71977940-fbfa-4271-8399-25b37fc99c2d" />
To properly target text files I believe you do it like this: "when": "resourceLangId != undefined in your editor/title menus contribution

FYI @chrislloyd
Thanks for reporting. We should have a fix for the resourceLangId issue in an upcoming release
@hackyon-anthropic this is not true:
png image with custom editor:
<img width="1752" height="518" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ac35bc8e-45aa-44c5-9c58-4c72691e6d15" />
Extension "editor":
<img width="1535" height="238" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fb39a919-a270-4161-92a6-4a84f0944121" />
Also can you reconsider changing the icon color too? Making it red clearly breaks the rules of how icons are meant to look.
